I have a set of Corbeau baja suspension seats in my '94 F350, with a factory bronco console between the seats. No issues with fit. One gripe that I do have, which is definitely my fault, is that the seats suck to get in and out of because the truck is so tall. The seats have nice side bolsters around your hips, but this also makes it a bear to get over and jump out of the truck. It holds you in nicely once you're in, but I would have already pulled these out if this was a daily driver. I'll have to see if I can find a picture later.

I used their bracket. This is in a regular cab truck that had a bench, so I'm not sure if their bracket for an extended cab is dissimilar in design. The bracket for the bench seat replacement uses the existing 4 outer bolt holes in the floor and just has tubing that spans the width of the cab that the seats bolt to. I mounted the center console on top of these bars with self tapping screws.

That's what I used. Fit perfect.

As promised, pictures below.

The console is the factory center console from an '89 Bronco. The seats are Corbeau Baja RS Reclining Suspension Seats, in black vinyl/cloth. https://corbeau.com/baja-rs/ As I said before, I would not get these if this is something you frequently get in and out of, but they are fine for my use as a competition truck. They are very comfortable when you're in the seat, and the suspension part is almost a necessity as the truck doesn't exactly have a great deal of suspension movement, but egress/ingress are not great. If I were to get a different set, I'd probably get the Moab reclining seats, as the side bolsters on the seat bottom aren't nearly as high.
