'97 front seat configuration...???

My wife was complaining that her next truck would have the two buckets in front with the console. I told her that we could probably swap out our front bench for the two buckets and a console from another expy or maybe an F-150. She claims neither the F-150 or the expy came with two buckets and a console in '97.

Anyone ever see a '97 F-150 or Expy with two buckets up front?

Bucket seats was an option on the 97 F150, Thats what I went with. I didn't order my expy new, so I don't know if bucket seats were an option or standard, but thats whats in my expy as well.

I spoke to a parts guy here at my local Ford dealer and he said that the buckets with the console were the standard for '97 and the bench was an optional configuration.
