Possible conversion to bucket seats.

Well its almost time to start working the interior of my 78 ford and like the idea of having split seats with a center console.

I'm curious what seats are a simple bolt in. I'm sure I could make just about any seat really work with fabrication, but what can be bolted in?

Could a 1998-2003 FORD RANGER FRONT BUCKET seat be bolted in for example? I ask just because I saw an auction for them.

You are just looking for buckets seats?
Installing the center console is easy, and you can mount any bucket seats in your ride with a pair of 78/9 Bronco sliders.

Doesn't have to be bucket seats, seperate seats, instead of a bench. What's this slider you're talkin about?

The slider he is talking about is the seat track, that the seat slides back and forth on to adjust the position of the seat. If you get seat tracks out of a 78-79 Bronco putting bucket seats in your truck will be a bolt in mod. The seat tracks unbolt from the frame of the seat.
