front bucket seats from 90s bronco

[Ididriver]

ok i have a line to a 90s bronco with the front bucket seats. about to go look at them in about 2 hours brin inging tools and all to bring these babys home.
will the buckets from thje bronco work in my f250?? how much work is involved in putting them in? the bronco was a rollover thats getting scrapped.
fast replys are MUCH apreciated
been wanting buckets sense i got this truck

The floors are different shapes between the bronco and your truck, You will have to modify the bronco bucket frames to work in your truck. Dont forget to support the floor for the inner bolt holes

thanks for the quick response. anything else i should now? what exatly would i have to modify?
or am i just better holding off on this one and finding a truck like mine with buckets?

The ONLY reg cab truck to have factory buckets was a 93-95 lightning

wich im entirly not going to find around here..
sorry i meant to clarify. from an ex cab truck or possibly a crew. i know ive seen people take the buckets from an extened cab truck but dindt get a chance to see how they did it.
i dont mind the work my only dilema is no acsses to a welder to make anything.

I ended up with Bronco buckets and console in mine.

Like Brad said they don't just bolt right in, but IIRC I was able to line up a couple of the stock holes on each side. Not too tough.

Having a passenger seat that will fold forward on a crew cab is kind of funny.

Very easy. I have really, really thick insulation under my carpet. I just put the seats where I wanted them, drilled the floor and put HUGE washers underneath. The drivers side was easy.

The passenger side is about the same, except the floor is shaped quite a bit different from the Bronco; so you have to bend the tabs on the front of the passenger seat to fit. The hard part is getting the rails perfectly parallel so the dang thing will slide right. Took me longer to get this right then any other part of the install.

If I ever pull the cab again I will weld the nuts and washers so that it will be easy to remove and replace the seats in the future. ( OR maybe some of that glue they use now for autobody work???)

I also used industrial velcro to hold down the center console; that way we can remove it and put a cooler there for long trips!

just got off the phone with the guy. seems like there FREE. pulling them friday. even if i dont put them in i can make a profit of this.

back to the subject tho. oncorb was the install worth the time effort and money it took?? and the drivers side is a direct bolt in but passenger takes alil modifaction did i read that right?

 

[ocnorb]

oncorb was the install worth the time effort and money it took??

YES! I have had 3 sets of seats and these are teh first set that are "Momma approved". (If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!) She hated the '91 60/40 bench.

and the drivers side is a direct bolt in?

One bolt lines up- the other three need to be drilled, but it fits the floor pretty good. The bronco rear seat holes are 4-5 inches forward of the stock rear holes.

but passenger takes alil modifaction did i read that right?

Yep. But its not really too bad. Just have a helper handy when you are fiddling with the slides and stuff. The extra slide for the fold forward is waht got me.


FREE is my second favorite word! Can't hardly beat it.
