New Seats
I just finished with my truck seats. I replaced the original bench seat with some Bronco seats and center console. Obviously they didn't match the interior so I was planning on reupholstering them and painting the center console. Finally, I got them reupholstered and chose a darker material to mimic the newer King Ranch style seats. I still have to recover the rear bench seat and maybe cover the arm rests on the doors and other places to finish the interior. I still have to replace the door panels with power stuff, but at least the front seats are done. Tell me what you think.

Looks great! How much changing did you have to do to get the Bronco seats to go into where the bench used to be? I was thinking about doing the same thing to my truck so I was just wondering if you had to do alot of work or if they just bolted in?

No big deal, with at least one factory hole lined, up, the brackets match up with the floor contours and makes drilling the new holes easy. The biggest hassle was getting past the exhaust shields underneath the passenger side seat. I didn't bother removing them, but it would have made it easier. All in all, it probably took a half hour to install the Bronco seats.

Makes me wonder if they are different between a bronco and another truck. I just put them where I wanted them and drilled my holes.
