Installing seats from a random car...

I'm about to go and look for some leather bucket seats either on ebay or from a wrecked car.

Would it be hard to install seats from some other random car into my reg. cab F-150?

Any good suggestions? I don't wanna have to spend a lot...

thanks

Hey rhetor!

Check out my gallery pic https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...d=7832&width=2 the guy I bought my truck off stuck in a set of seats and fold down seat/console out of a newer dodge p/u. I was going to take them out and put in the captains chairs out of my old Bronco. But I like the fold down console 3 seat option. He welded 4 strips of 1/4 inch plate under the floor and bolted the seats and center seatbelts in through the floor and plates. It's good and secure with a nice fit.

might require some drilling and running wires if you get the heated power leather seats.
