Seat Swap

I've got a pair of Lightning seats that I want to install in my '93 F250 but the floor pan is different. Has anyone does this type of conversion and can offer suggestions? I'm prepared to fab some adapter brackets but would appreciate thoughts of someone that has been there done this. Or is there a bracket kit available?

No, the seats are from a second gen, therein lies the rub. Looks like there is a fairly significant difference in the floorpan shape and location of the mounting points. Then there appears to be a misnmatch in the seatbelt buckle but I hope I can use the old ones, just won't look nice, butr then the truck is quite beatup so that doesn't matter<g>.

2ng gen seats will fit but there is alot of work to be done to get them to. And the suede wears out very quickly
