Seat interchange years

What years of seats will work in our trucks, and what all is involved in putting the bottom rails from our model onto the newer seat?

I'm not sure about all of the years that will work, but I took the rails off of the seats in my 67 F100 and put an '86 F150 seat on the rails. It was a simple bolt in project.
It fit perfectly and looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

^ man that interior is gorgeous. i'm happy with my stock bench, and maybe thought about getting it reupholstered, but my dog Rainier loves it all ragetty the way it is. and i wouldnt want that great ford smell to go away. i never wear seatbelts, so i went ahead and removed those. sorry officer this is a 69

blue68, the specs at the end of the article say the column is from a 72 chevy van. in the next few weeks im going to go through one of the local yards and look for something around that year range. The 89 seat looks great in the cab as well! Whoever built that truck also relocated the gas tank so i dont know if there are any problems with the seat interchange and the seat tank.

after looking at those pictures(alot) im very eager to pull the dash pad off also because i really like how that dash looks.

Anyone know when the seat bracket changed so that later model seats won't bolt in?
