Mustang Bucket Seats?

There are an aweful lot of Mustangs in the Pick and Pulls here in Dallas. Has anybody tried installing a bucket seat from a Mustang in to our trucks? Searching for a cheap and easy option.

I guess it would depend on the year. Biggest issue I can see is height. Mustang seats are designed to sit as low as possible, where the truck seats are elevated.

Hmmm...most other truck/suv seats, wind up, too hi, and modding the brackets make some of them sit wobble codded and just maybe you got something, cause like Edgethis said, they sit lower.

My drivers side seat looks like it's in nice shape but underneath the seat most of the wire mesh is stretched out with many broken. I've never found a way to replace it. I literally have a couple hand made slats made from flat steel I bought at Home Depot. It's under the foam but since it's been a couple years the foam is breaking down. I've taken the whole seat out and then apart. The seat does come off of the base that mounts to the floor, and the base with the electrical moving pieces so...yeah maybe I'll see if I can find a Mustang bucket color that I like and give it a go.
