Also... What about the back seat in full size broncos? I know they have the brackets for the latch in back and the pins in front... Surely these come off without to much trouble and the bench brackets can be bolted on; even if these need a couple holes drilled its not that complicated.
The rear Bronco benches are so comfy!!

I know this could be a dead thread but had a question. I have a single cab 78 F-150 with a bench seat. I found a rear bench seat out of a 1996 f-250. Will this also bolt up without any modifications?

No. It won't work. You can go up to 1990 for the seats. But not back to front.

Awesome, thank you for clearing it up! Looked like it might be close to fitting but not in the position to be doing fab work to make it fit.

One more question for this thread, I think it will work but double checking with the experts before buying. Front bench seat out of a 92 F-250, should bolt up without and modifications right? I have a 78 single cab.

some of the fancy 60-40 split benches might give you trouble.
You never know what’s been done after all these years…mine had problems because it took me a while to figure out somebody swapped in early 60’s rails.

Yes so long as its a plain Jane bench and you have your original rails/tracks.

Awesome thread, I'm glad I found it.
Hate to resurrect an old thread, but has anyone done King Ranch seats in a 78-79? We have an expedition with these seats and we love them. I found a rear bench from a 2008 F250/350 King Ranch, and I would love to swap that in my 78 F250 Ranger.
Any input is appreciated!
