Seats and fabric sure. Dash and door panels? Not without a crap ton of fab work.

I've heard that even the seats don't fit in well, that they end up looking too big. But I'd sure like to see how they do fit, because I thought the seats in my '08 F-250 were way more comfortable that the 40-20-40 seats in either my '95 or my '97 (the seats were about the only things that I like better in the '08 though)

Be advised, an '08 F-250 instrument panel (and most other 99+ Fords) does not have direct-wire instruments. That is, the instrument cluster receives values such as engine RPM, fuel qty, and vehicle speed using a serial bus instead of each gauge being directly wired to a sensor. You might be able to figure out how to collect the analog data and convert it to serial data for the cluster, or just swap your existing cluster into it, or maybe run a custom setup with aftermarket gauges.

Just a heads-up!

No, all would need to be custom made

The mounts for a bench aren't that difficult, but if you are moving over a 40/20/40 from a Super Duty is a bit more work if I recall.

This guy went all out updating his 78 bronco with an 04 F150 interior and drivetrain. Shows that anything is possible, if you have the time and skill:

I see that guy several times a week rolling through the neighborhood. He lives right up the street from me. Been meaning to go by one time and ask him about all the work he did as I am very intrigued by it.
