Seat Swaping

I have a 78 F150 4x4 Stepside. I'm redoing a lot of things on it, but one of those is to put in a new seat. I'd like to have bucket seats, but I don't want to loose the functionality of the Bench seat. I used to have a 98 Ram that had a fold down armrest/compartment.

Does anyone have any recomendations for seats that will transfer into my truck without much fuss? And that have some sort of fold down arm rest or something like that?

Thanks,

Chad

I got a seat from a '96 Ford, I was told it was from '96, and it went in the same four holes as the original. It even had a pint size armrest and some sort of air pillows for lower back support.

I saw a 76 w/ Taurus leather buckets.
They fit well in cab & looked real sharp.
The guy built a little oak center console....very nice.

Chad,
Here's the skinny. Mercury Grand Marquis seats! Luxurious, Power, bucket/bench combo with center armrest. I've seen the conversion and they fit in a 68, I think, it wasn't a 73-79. They should bolt in with just the normal difficulty. Has anyone else seen this?
Good Luck, Have Fun,
KingFisher
