yeah it will bolt right in.
Ford uses Modular bodies for everything. Should be as easy as un-bolt, remove and re-bolt the new seat. Look for a XLT Expy...they had the bench only predominately
I've considered picking up a Bench seat myself. Plenty of room currently with the wife/3 kids...but I've got in-laws coming and I'd really like to have that 8th spot available...and all my kids are in carseats...so it's cramped at times.
now the question is how much a Bench would run? don't care if it's cloth/leather...just in decent shape.

I believe all 07's and up have three separate seats for the second row. You need to pull the carpet up and see if the holes are there for the bolts, if so you have to measure the width of a center seat and see if it will fit-I don't know if the captains chairs with the arm rests are wider than non-captains outer chairs.

Thanks for the input!

I took the middle seat out of my bench to make captains chairs. The original seats actually have bolt holes for the arm rests built into them, so if you can find just a middle seat, you would be good to go. Not sure what the dealer price would be though, I might be coerced into selling mine, it has had a wet okole seat cover on it since day one, and been sitting in my garage for about 1.5 years. It is the black cloth interior. Very heavy though, not sure if S&H would be worth it.

I bought a second row center seat on ebay. (shipping was more than the cost of the seat, just the center section weighs 80 lbs,) My Navigator came with a console that attached with the same bolts that hold the center seat down. You might try a solid black seat, it might look good in the center...
Good luck.
Good luck.
