Will a bench seat from a 1987 bronco fit perfectly in a 78 f250 or are the brackets completely different?

 

I'm guessing you will need to use the brackets from your old seat too make it work. I haven't tried one but i think the floor pan is different. I did use the rear bench seat from a 87 crew cab by reusing my old 79 brackets, fit was perfect .

 

Is it easy to switch the brackets? What tools are needed?

 

One wrench to fit the bolts and nuts. Pretty easy for me , but i don't know what you can do. Is this your first time using tools on a truck ?

 

No I just wasn't sure if there was any welding needed to switch the brackets

 

I never had to do any cutting or welding using the pickup seat, bronco may be different. I have read on the forums that the pickup seat up to 96 goes in easy by switching the tracks.

 

Thanks for the help. Pretty sure it will be easy

 

For a beginner, bracket change will take approx 2 hours. Also, I recommend 1/4" drive sockets, if possible
