Same year-range buckets/center console out of an F-truck, including the Bronco.

you'll have to drill the four holes on the inside of the seat, you should replace the part of the seat belt on the inside as well (they have a stiff plastic part to keep it in place). If your going to install a center console you'll have to drill holes for that as well. If you take the seats out of a s/c only one of the bolt holes on the passenger seeat will line up (frnt lft)

Like said any Ftruck/bronco will fit. Some of the older 87 down I heard bolt pattern was slightly different . But the base will fit floor ,redrill and use big fender washers

I just put 83 Bronco seats in my 87 F150 today. Aside from , of course, having to drill the inside holes for both seats, I had to drill for the back pass. outside bolt. It was different , I guess, due to the flip up seat. But they did fit the contour of the floor perfectly.

getting ready to put buckets in my 87 ext cab - I pulled the bench and realized the bolt holes don't match up but except for a few (front rt on pass, and actually three of them on the drivers side I got to match up. I want to pull the rubber mat out while I'm doing all this, any ideas where I could find a cheap replacement rubber mat for the whole interior? I don't care much for carpet....

I'm 6'2'' and I'm wondering if there is room in a regular cab for bronco or super cab buckets?... any one have any experience doing this swap in a regular cab?

STRANGER, any auto parts store should be able to help you out with a rubermat for your truck...or you can try L.M.C. online, they have mats for cheap.
