Question Replacing a Bench with buckets?

Went to the boneyard yesterday, I noticed some decent captains chairs in a Bronco. Would these bolt in place of the bench seat in my F250. Are the holes already in the floor for the buckets or would I have to drill?

On a side note, I scored a delay wiper control box for my truck as well, and in case anyone is interested they had a couple new trucks in there with complete tach dash's and clocks in them. Was at the Jalopy Jungle in Nampa.

Thanks.

The bronco seats should fit just fine. You will more than likely, however have to drill holes in the floor pan to make mount them.

If you can go back and get those instrument clusters with tachs. Get them, they are about as rare as platinum in most places. I had to look for one for 8 months to find the one i have now.

the drivers side is a good fit. you have to drill all the holes on the passenger side I believe. Pull some angle iron under the rear bolts, as they won't have any support under them
