Just wondering if it was possible to switch front buckets with a bench seat?

That could be kind of cool - wonder if anybody's done it. Girlfriend or wife could snuggle right on over..... LOL

I don't see why not. The 40/20/40 bench from a 250 or 350 should work fine.

I was at the wreckers yesterday getting a body mount for my X after I had read your post. The easy mounts are under the front carpet. I tried an F350 and an F450 and noticed that the mounting bolt locations on both vehicles front bench was identical to the X. The center section spans the console location. I didn't take a hard look but it looks like a quick swap. And cheap as there are lots of wreckers out there who seem not to value the seats in their vehicles. Make 'em an offer they can't refuse...

Excursions are (were?) available from Ford with a front bench, so it should be no problem...

I have the split bench from the factory in my X and its the same as a couple Superduty's I just test drove with my cousin, so I would think they should be the same.
