ive seen it done in a lot of show trucks, but your talkin about some serious $$ if your not doing it yourself, and its not easy work at all.

I'm sure it's not too hard to do. I mean all you're doing is removing the stock rear seats and securing the rails and frame for the buckets where the rear seat used to be. To be honest I don't think it would be that hard to do. I think it's an awesome idea to put buckets in the rear with a sub box and cup holders between them. That would be a sick customization!!!!

That would be extremely sick man, I know the king ranches have buckets in the rear, I don't see why you couldn't find a wrecked one and use their mounting brackets and possibly even seats, just get them reupolstered (spelling) that would be my best bet on how to go about this.

I would be hoping you have a screw, I have a scab and there wouldn't be any leg room if I did it which there really isnt any already considering I am 6' 6" lol

I'm really thinking about doing this now man thanks to you SGT....lol I've been wanting a sub box but I don't want it under the seat where I have to lose leg room and a custom job like this one with cup holders would be wicked!!! I think I'm gonna research seats, mounting brackets, and slider frames for this today.

I guess my next question is....Are the front bucket seats the same or do I need to buy a front driver's seat for the right side and a front passenger seat for the left??

Alright man. I've been working the past few days so I'm gonna research it here in a few. I was thinking that since I don't have leather that I could just see how much the dealership wants for 2 seats or check a local junkyard. We have a place here in Jax called Rusty Acres and they have only wrecked Ford products ((Lincoln, Ford, Mercury, etc...))
