Has anyone ?

Has anyone swapped front seats from a Lincoln Navigator into a late 90's Full size ?

I was thinking of putting in seats from something like an 04 or later F 350 into the bronco. Are all recent model F series seats basically the same frame mounting dimensions and associated tech like that?

I had an 2004 F-350 Lariat and the seats in that were very comfy and would love to get them into my 1994 EB..

Someone tried to fit Expy seats a while ago, it didn't work, so i guess there is some fabbing involved to make any of those seats work.

People often ask about fitting differnt seats. Most all seats mount via four holes. The bronco has a steel floor that is strong. So if the holes dont line up, just drill new ones. If the height is too short, put some spacers in between the floor and the mount. Even somebody that is'nt real macanically inclined can handle this job.

Of course if the seats are too big, you've got a problem. But I have never run into seats that dont fit in a Bronco. Even van capton chairs usally have a box/spacer that can be removed so they can fit in the Bronco.

Explorer seats and mustang seats fit well and bolt to the bronco factory brackets.

Is the Expedition wider then the Bronco ?

I would have thought the Explorer much narrower then the Bronco.. although i guess the Seat itself could be the same..
Are the Explorer seats like the ones in a 2004 F-350 with leather? (comfort wise being that was what i had) ??

It is narrower, but the seats aren't. The space between the seats (if they're bucket seats) are generally taken up with wider or narrower middle storage consoles.
