New Seat(s)

I have a 93 F150 2wd that I recently bought. The truck has a new paint job, tires, suspension, brakes, weatherstripping, etc. The only thing that seems to have not been redone on this thing is the original seat, carpet and interior trim plastic. The truck is red exterior and maroon interior which IMO is the ugliest combo you can have but I got a great deal on the truck so can't complain. Anyways instead of recovering the worn out and ripped seat I was thinking of finding a late model Ford truck seat that will bolt right into place or with very very little fab work to work in this thing.
Is there a later year seat that would work in this truck that is a bench seat?
Thanks for any info in advance!

seats up until 96, or 97 for f-250/350 will bolt in. why not go ahead and reupholster it? carpet is pretty easy to find as well, i just ordered mine and i'll be doing a write up when i do the install. if its in good shape, its normally worth it to pull the carpeting to inspect at a minimum, as water has a nasty habit of getting into the padding and holding water and rusting the floor from the inside out.

I agree with navymidn08, at least change the carpet to match seats, then you can get any seats you want. Then you can always change the dash & inner trim later on.

Thanks for the info guys. I am changing the seat because mine is ripped and foam is worn out. Instead of recovering and refoaming it I'd rather look for a late model seat in good condition. If not then no big deal. As for carpet, that is easy. Mine is in great shape but the maroon is ugly. I plan to go with the black vinyl mat instead of carpet for easy of cleaning since it's a work truck. Headliner I will just recover myself in black and let it go.
Thanks again! If any of you have any pictures of some late model seats in your truck, please post them up.
