Replacing bench seats.

Since my truck got totaled, i've been looking at getting a new truck. I looked at two yesterday and both of them were XLT (one an eddie bauer like my old one) but had bench seats in them. I hate bench seats compared to my old captains chairs. Anyone know if they are easily swapped? I tried looking in posts from a while ago, because i've heard topics like this before but i couldn't really find anything. Thanks.



Primary rig is NOW TOTALLED :-X23 :
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
Some pictures in my gallery.


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

The newest addition to the Ford family is a 99' Mustang GT 4.6L

Charlez truck is a regular cab, i'm gonna get a supercab, so lightning seats would look kinda funny. He didn't seem to be 100% sure that they fit, anyone know? I dont mean to be a pain.

Replacing bench seats.

i was thinking of putting buckets from a 89 bronco in my 88 at one time but was just to cheap to spend the money. finally i was offered the same seats again for nothing and after thinking about i jumped on it. you have to redrill like three holes but it can be done
