Is there a supplier for new bucket seats for my truck? No luck with ford or lmc, I don't want to have to redrill holes..

Havnt tried them personally but looks like these should work (on my list for when I get around to restoring the interior)

Wow! I had no idea you could buy that kind of stuff. My 94 has the captain seats. Most of the interior is in really good shape with the exception of the drivers sitting surface. I looked at the OEM type covers at LMC but whoa!......................PRICY!!

My truck is only for occasional use for chores so I do not think I will be replacing it anytime soon.

However those center console seats are interesting. The previous owner of my truck constructed an oak center console which is nice but not easy to clean and not my ideal.

While I like bench seats, my truck 1: does not have them and 2: that center console would be the best of both worlds. Would be nice for taking my girl to the drive in movie in the summer. Yes, we actually still have a drive in movie up in Baltimore and it is really a nice place to go. Brings back memories of my Mom and Dad taking me when I was a kid in the ole Country Squire.

It didn't come with buckets did it? If it only has two sets of holes it needs a rack to span them to put the buckets on if you don't want to drill new holes. I think corbeu sells one if you don't feel like fabbing. If your trying to save money and don't want to drill holes you can take the mounts of the seats you have and use them to build a rack off of.

Here is what I did to my 92 F450 that had the deadly bench seat. [murder to drive, hated the damn thing]

Picked up a set of stock Ford bucket seats with center console from a 96. The bolt pattern is way small compared to the 4 bolts that held the bench. Went to my local pick and pull and found a mount bracket from a 94 and up bucket seat truck. It very conveniently has the same 4 bolts that mount the bench seat AND the 12 bolts that mount the 40/20/40 bucket/console/bucket. Cost me 40 bucks at the pick and pull and a bunch of looking to find what I wanted, but it's a stock Ford item.

I now have bucket seats that recline and have electric lumbar support. Seat belts all works like normal, etc etc.

Try that. It will increase your selection of seats to upgrade your truck with stock from salvage yard.
