I have a 76 F-100. I measured the bolt holes for the seat mounts center to center. Fron to back they are 15,5 inches. The width is 42 inches. I recently bought a bench seat from the mid 90s, and the measurements are exactly the same.

Back from the dead again...
What broncos? 78-79 or the 80's or 90's?
I am looking at putting a split type bench from a 95 or so in my 74 crew and I'm pretty sure the split benches have 8 bolt in points instead of 4 like a basic bench. I would assume (hope is more like it) that these mounting points are the same as the buckets were/are and that they will line up.
Is my assumption correct? Anybody tried a split/sliding bench?

I put some 2003 F250 seats in my 77, it is not a bolt in project. I had to make a custom frame out of box steel. It was a real pain. They will sit higher than the original seats so if you are tall or have problems getting in then they might not be a good option.

You will need the brackets the seats bolt onto in the first place.
A 78 79 Bronco would be a good place to get those brackets, but the seats aren't the greatest, so once you have the brackets, you can get just about any 70s-maybe90s bucket seats from a truck or car.
I have bucket seats out of a 70s model LTD, and they mounted to my brackets perfectly.
