Hi
I had a full bench and put buckets from an 98 expy in mine and my son in lay went from full bench to 60/40 in his. All of the holes are there but the ones that your seat doesn't use aren't tapped. If you have an impact gun the bolts are self tapping. If you don't then you will need a 12mm tap.

thanx for the info.......i have discovered today that the holes are there and found an exact year expy....even of the same color...that im getting the ELECTRIC leather bucket seats with the console for $100 !!!! gotta pull them myself though...but the price is unbeatable!!!( the wiring harness for the power seats to the fuse box is only gonna cost me $10. ill ppost some picks as i improve mt f150.
Also today i discovered thazt the broken wrist pin or rod ive been hearing is actually a broken flex plate....so instead of $2000 for a reman long block i only have to pay $75 for a new flex plate......Good news as i got the truck for $700 because it had a terrible rod knock. Thank GOD they didnt know what they had!!!! God has certainly blessed me with this deal!!

Great deal, IF you like leather and buckets for some reason, it's all that matters. Congrats! I like the cloth personally and the BIG seats 60/40 with the center fold down.

The factory harness for the seats is on the pass side (kick panel) can't you tap there or did you conclude each seat needs it's own circuit ?

Was no need to spend 2000 for a reman if the problem was where you thought it was, but that's great it was only the flexplate.

God?

Well keep us up to date for sure...I'm sure you will. Pictures next time.

Oh, - it's not about those beliefs trust me. This shouldn't have to be explained to you. Perhaps a little more thinking on your part may be a blessing.
