Default 98' - Change from 60/40 to two buckets and console

Not sure if this is possible, or viable at least, but willing to ask and find out.
I currently have cloth seats in a 60/40 bench style. I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade so to speak to two bucket seats with some sort of center console, or raised armrest with storage inside it, as well as storage under.
Mostly looking for the two seats, and something in the middle that will not just leave an open space between the seats. And being a 5-speed standard i am hoping to have some sort of console or arm rest.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks for your time, and look forward to hearing your responses

Hello and welcome to the forum!- from past posts that i have read here, pretty much any thing from 97-03 f150, and some expeditions will interchange. Its just a matter of finding what you want.
You can use the search feature on the forum and browse through, there may even be pics on some of the threads.
Good hunting!, regards, Bear

This is an 2000 EddIe Bauer Expedition set into my 98 reg cab. I didn't keep it though. I needed a 3rd seat once in a while, so I went to a 60-40 cloth, and got rid of the 60-40 leathers that came originally. Too damn cold in the winter for my butt. lol

I would certainly be open to something like this. But something more manual transmission friendly. I do agree the leather would probably be a bit cold in the winter, but if they had a heated seat option it would make it much more appealing.

This is what the f150 console looks like, it might be standard friendly

I'm doing the same, just waiting for my local pick n pull to do their %40 off discount. Once they do I'll be pulling seats from a truck or more likely a expedition. Bucket seats are hard to find out here

And finding a clean drivers seat is really a challenge. The sides are usually ripped or the seems torn.

Man you're telling me. It's almost a needle in a hay stack!

How's converting the power seats from a expy if my truck has no power seats? Can it be easily done?

Power seats are easy swap. heated power and memory seats require more wiring. My 99 had the power wire in the passenger side kick panel. It is a green wire in a 2 wire plug.
