Bench seats from trucks pretty much bolt in up to 1996 w/o mods. 1997 and later need new rails. I am not sure about a bronco seat, but it may depending on the year, someone may know more. If it is a bench seat, you might be able to use the truck rails and bolt the seat to them. For $30.00, you can probably try it and resell if it doesn't work and not lose any money.

They are buckets. I left that bit out. They won't fit at all. I'm going to just weld up a 3/4x3/4" sq tube frame and get rid of the stock frame. That way I'll be able to use the adjustable track from the buckets and they will move independantly. I'm going to build a center consil and put my sterio in there becaust i don't want a modern sterio in my old school dash.

The bucked are great. Way comfy and suportive. I'm going go leave them alone for now but put new foam and vynal on them when I have a little extra $.

it may be easier than you think. if u have seen my thread. i have mustang buckets in mine. with 4 bolt studs on its frame and only 2 per side on the bench i reused the stock brackets off the bench for the 2 outboard studs, drilled a small hole for one of the studs going through the floorpan secured with a nut underneath, than just a metal bracket with the right height for the other stud.

I have all the material. It might take me 30-45 mins to make an all new frame. I want to get it a little lower to the floor too
