Default Seat swaps

I have a 2000 reg cab flareside 4x4.It has a 60/40 seat,I would like to put in buckets and a console but am concerned bolt pattern does not match existing seat/mount configuration.Has anyone done this switch? I'd like to know before buying seats and console...Thanks for any help...

Confirmed. Swapped my 60/40 in my flareside for buckets, and during research i did see that the 2000 is the same pattern.

Got my buckets for a penny off of ebay.. but it cost me 100 bucks to freight from Florida to Connecticut.

Keep an eye out on Ebay / Craigslist and local junkyards for salvage. You can pay anywhere between 100 and 1000 dependant one what you're looking for.

I posted a thread asking this and havent gotten a reply yet, so here goes. How do you get the seat bolts out if you don't have a Torx driver big enough?? Is there a way even?

If you dont have the T55 torx, go buy one. It'll cost you next to nothing. Any automotive or hardware store will have it.

If you are having a problem because the bolt wont come out despite using a thread loosening agent, breaker-bar, you've stripped the heads, etc, grind the head off and pound the bolt through, then re-tap.
