Seat swapping

Has any tried putting the first two rows of seats from a Navigator/Expedition into an 80"s crew cab?

It shouldn't be to hard to do, you will most likey have to build some spacers to get the tracks to fit cause i don't imagine the seats would fit on an older set of tracks out of your truck, I myself have a set of taruas buckets in my 82 flareside. One problem you might have is that the second row seat might have to much of tilt to it and you might loose some legroom.

One problem with swapping seats is size. Regular cabs don't have a lot of space, so if you are a big guy, I'd watch the thickness of the seat. I replaced mine with some bronco buckets; they were a direct boltup on the driver's side, but I lost about 2-3" of space, so it is a little more cramped for me (6'2", 240lbs).
