Pickup Seat swapping

I am looking at a bench seat from a '91 F150 single cab. In has the fold down arm rest and square seat back. I think this will bolt right into my '81 F150. Am I right or will I have to make some changes to make it fix? Also what kinds of seat belt issues will there be?

Thanks in Advance, Rod

It will bolt right in. If you can grab the buckle end of the seat belts I would, as there were changes to the way they are supported, but it's a nice to have, not a need to have.

FWIW if you try and die your seatbelts do not remove them from the holders I did it last night and realized after I pulled the first one that I was an epic retard. So anyway, just leave them in there and go to town.

Thanks for the info. This seat is not in a truck so not sure what I'll get for seat belts but they only want $50 for it so well see now it goes.

I was going to go to the junkyard tomorrow in hopes of finding the plastic covers. Ideally I'd pop mine off and slide them on and bolt mine back down but if you're saying removing the belt F's stuff up then I'm nervous.
