Hey, I've got my eyes on a set of 40/20/40 buckets and rail for 200$, colors don't match but functionality is what I want. Only (small) problem is that they're powered! Little lost here on how I'd run wiring to them, or if I should set and forget. It does come with its metal bracket or chassis, and from an extended cab like mine. I feel as if I need to drill holes and put big washers on the bolt heads, which is easy.
If that wasn't vague enough, I want a little help with running wiring to the seats (power sliding apparently), and a good way to brace the seats on the underbody.
I got my buckets, and yeah they bolt to a frame. That frame however needs to fit its own set of holes, because all I have is a standard bench. Drilling is in my future, but not wiring. That turns out to be for lumbar and as is fits me well.
However the guys floor had a raised spot for the center console, I don't know what to do about that yet.
Those are not power sliding...look close. That is the lumbar adjuster and the bladders are usually dead by now, constant 12V and ground if you want to try. They came from a Bronco or ext cab.
Look like full buckets to me like my '88 and '96 have from the factory, they mount right to the carpet. 40/20/40 has a bracket depending on floor pan (reg cab/crew cab or ext cab). I believe bench seats like my '92 has a specific bracket too for the floor pans. Just pull your current bracket and go from there.

I know theyre not power sliding now, guy didn't know much about em, was his parts truck.
Can you explain to me what a bracket for the floor pan is in better detail? I think they're the bottom half of the seat that bolts to the floor, with the upper half being the sliding part.
Missed you sorted the wiring, my fault there. You only need a bracket for the bench or the 40/20/20 seat.
Those ones you have bolt right to the floor, really not much to it. I THINK you will reuse the same holes in the floor once you remove the bench seat bracket. Wish my trucks were here, I would send you pics so it would make sense.
Whoops, you know I thought buckets were called a 40/20/40 being that they were split into their respective parts. The more you know!
The cushion on the driver's seat is good still, and I had no idea the air bladders tend to blow up after a while (or not blow up), I've got a set of seats from a bronco ii that still inflate.
I wanted to attach a picture of the floor of the guy's extended cab, just need a tiny bit of help wondering if it would be entirely the same to mine.

I have always just called them buckets. GM calls 'em that in their trucks I own.
