Modern Interior Update

I have a 1993 Ford F-250 2 door dually with a front and rear bench seat. The interior is in bad shape and needs redone. What I want to know is if the seats and center console from a Ford Raptor would fit into my truck with some modification. I’m not really concerned whether or not any of the power functions work, I just really like the look of them. Has anyone tried something similar to this?

yes, ANYTHING is possible with modifications but have you looked at the cost of those seats? Drivers bucket seat alone is over $1000.

If you want Recaro racing seats, I suggest just go an buy them

2 door with front and rear bench? So it's a 4 door?

You can put almost anything in a crew can, but if it's a regular cab it gets pretty tight with modern seats.

Do you have the Raptor seats? powering up the seats are easily done, they just require a 10ga power and ground and they should work fine with the factory seat switches. I dont think that it a crazy idea you can always redrill the floor to take the newer seat brackets, just remember to reinforce were you drill as sheet metal wont hold in an accident, also think about seatbelt mounting all newer trucks have the chest belt that contains a pyro charge to tighten during a front end collision. Keep safety in mind as you only have one life and there are too many distracted drivers out there. Good Luck!!!

Wiring the news seats is easy, I've worked on the newer 10 way seats at my job, mounting them will be very difficult in an older truck.
