CrewCab back seat mod- King ranch it

How difficult would it be to take out the bench back seat and setting it up like the buckets and console like in the King Ranch crew cab?

Could I just find a set of front seats and another center console and have them bolt into the same mounts/holes on the floor?

I've never been in one to check but I'm sure they would require different rails.

My rear seat bolts to the floor at the four corners. You probably could drill new holes and mount the rails though, but I'm just guessing.

all the cabs have the places to mount the different seats in them. you have to locate the metal donuts under the floor (look under the truck) take a 1" hole saw and cut the sheet metal away and you have unthreded hole, either thread the hole or run a seat bolt into it (they are self tapping). I rebuilt a 05 king ranch using a 03 cab and thought i was going to have trouble with the rear seat till i looked under the cab.

You could always just wrap the rear seat in King Ranch leather. Some King Ranch's have the rear captain chairs and console, others (like mine) are just the regular rear seats.

I just want to put matching captains seats and front console in the back inplace of the bench seat. I am hoping that I can just bolt in some front seats and console from another SD as long as the color matches.
