Question bench seat to bucket seat conversion

yea i know ive already posted this but i didn't get any help but any would be greatly appreciated
anyway i have a 93 f150 that has the basic bench seat and i wanna get a good sound system in it and i want to try and put bucket seats so my question is would it be easier to find a similar f150 with buckets and get those or get mustang seats and just make mounts (i also plan on getting most if not everything from the junkyard if possible but im in machine shop at a vocational school so i can probably make brackets if i have to )
anyway any help would be really helpful and greatly appreciated

making brackets is time consuming to get it exactly right. go with a similair f150 seat if you can.

when i was thinking about putting it in my truck, i was told just to find the aftermaket one that will fit in the old holes. that is what my friend did with his camaro. it might take a little bit you should be able to find one in a auto shop easy enought.

Might try full size Bronco seats. you get a locking center console with those.
