So I want to get rid of my captains chairs and useless tiny center console in my extended cab and just put in a bench from a regular cab. More room to throw crap that way LOL Do they fit with little to no modification? Hole all the same? I've found a '94 reg. cab with a decent interior that I'm considering buying and raiding for this purpose.

Conversely, would my bucket seats and console bolt into that regular cab easily for potential resale? :sly

If memory serves, the holes in the ext cab do not line up with the reg cab as far as buckets go. I don't believe it is simply a bolt in affair for the bench into your truck. I believe that there is a seat frame adapter that you can buy for the reg cab to make bolt in of the buckets easier. The extended cab is the ******* child. It's like the broncos more than anything else it seems.

I'm sure someone else will chime in with confirmation or correction of the info I gave you.

Alrighty. Would Buckets out of a Bronco bolt right in then? Found some good lookin' aftermarket red ones available from a 90-96 Bronco (who ever thought red was a good interior color?)

the bench will bolt in using the outer holes, but the buckets will not fit the reg cab without drilling the inner holes

Here is what I found...

Some holes lined up just fine, one or two didn't, however....

I looked under the floor pan and wow..the welded on nuts are there in the right place..hmm..OK

Drilled out the center of the nuts and then lo and behold I had holes that lined up!

This is just my personal experience with this same situation. A family man needed just ONE more seat so I gave him my split bench for his truck, kept his worn out buckets!

the bench seats that I have seen in the bronco and extended cabs sorta hinged in the middle to allow better access to the rear.

From your signature, I'm presuming that your truck is the '94, not the sold '91 you had, but you might still want to check for cracks in your floor pan when you take out the captain's chairs. There was a Ford TSB for the pre-90 models about how the seat mounting on the captain's chairs led to cracking in the weak floor pan design. I have an '89 crew cab with captain's chair, and I just replaced my carpet on Sunday. When I pulled the carpet, I noticed a really bad cruciform-shaped crack (about 3 inches x 2 inches, complete with daylight coming through!!) right where the transmission hump met the rise for the driver's seat. I ended up doing some extensive weld repairing to a very large section of it to make sure the situation didn't repeat. (I also laid down weld bead going about an inch past where the crack stopped in each direction of the 4-way crack ground the whole thing smooth to mitigate any potential crack propagation.) I think one of the POs was a really fat *******, because he also trashed the driver's seat track! (Had to replace that too.......)

If anyone else who might follow this thread is interested, here's the ford TSB:

I realized that the floor pan thing I spoke about above was also the subject of a warranty recall (not just a TSB) for 1989/90-Model Bronco and F-Series Super Cab Trucks Equipped With the Captain Chair Option. Go to your Ford Dealer (if you affected) and refer to "OWNER NOTIFICATION PROGRAM B93".

Also, the pics I posted above must have had embedded links to the all data file I copied it from, because they went bye-bye and seem to keep being replaced with random pictures. Ignore the ones above. Here's the replacement figures,FYI.
