Replacing Seats in a 91 supercab
Hi guy's I'm new to the forum, I just bought a 1991 F-150 super cab and it has the split bench in the front with the fold down arm rest. I'm hoping to switch it out for some nice bucket seats, are there any that are a direct bolt in? I tried to do some searching on here buy I mostly found info for single cabs. Thanks for the help.

As for putting in buckets, YES, it is very simple since 50% of the supercabs trucks got them

So would I just need to look for buckets from that year range? Do I need the brackets too? Thanks for the help.

Just be aware that if you use the factory captain's chairs, none of the holes will line up. Also you will need to brace the floor where you do eventually bolt the seats down. I did this conversion on my '91 and the floor cracked and split where I put the driver's seat. I am not huge, I weigh 210#, but it only took about 6 months for the floor to tear around the bolt holes. Trucks with factory captain's chairs have bracing underneath for this purpose.
If you want something that will bolt in, look for a 92-96 truck with the 40-20-40 seats. It has separate buckets and a center fold-down console and will bolt in place of your bench seat. This truck has the seat I am talking about: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...found-one.html

I assume you are talking a brick nose year?
And a 40/20/40 from a supercab bolts in just like factory buckets so you would be bracing the floor again. If you got a 40/20/40 from a reg cab or crewcab the seat does Not slide forward to access the rear of the cab, only supercab seats do that

So only factory bucket seat equipped supercabs came with the bucket seat bracing?!?! I assume you are talking a brick nose year?

Regular cab and crewcab 40/20/40s bolt in with just 4 bolts like a bench seat. And are a "complete" assembly
There is a "rib" that runs along the underside of the floor to brace it. The bench seat holes are on that rib, so that provides the bracing. However, the captain's chairs bolts are outside of the rib, so that's why they need extra, add-on bracing.
