Default Bench to Bucket seat question

I am planning on swapping my Bench seat out of my 95 for Captains seats and a console. How much extra drilling will I need to do to get the buckets to fit? Thanks

You will lose the slide adjustment, unless you make one yourself and I believe you will only have to drill 4 extra holes, for the inside of the seats.

I was reading up on this before and just never got around to it.

My grandpa has buckets in his truck, so I will measure where they are placed in the truck. Is there any reinforcing I need to do to the floor?

Yeah, I am getting the tracks for the seats with them so it will slide, I will probably just redo the whole interior at that time. I will lay thicker steel and angle iron down most likely. I will measure where the seats are placed on my grandpas truck, and will mount the buckets in my truck where they are placed in my grandpas truck. Since mine is a manual tranny so I want the seats to be in the right position
