Seats

I am looking to replace the factory bench seat in my 78 f-100, but i am wondering what is the newest one that will fit, will the seat/seats out of a newer 97+ fit with little or no modification? or am i better off reupholstering mine or trying to find a decent replacement? Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

as far as I know, anything from before 1996 will fit, as long as you swap the seat tracks with your current seat. Shouldn't be much of a problem. Anything newer than that may require some more extensive work.
