Default Swapped my bench for buckets 99XL

Swapped my bench out for cloth buckets from a 2000 Expedition . The drivers side is power so I ran wires to the passenger side kick panel. Works great. The only thing I would mention is that the 2 rear inboard holes that land the seat belts and a bigger bolt than the others. Make sure when you get your source seats to grab those bolts and a couple extras for the front . Fit and works perfectly.

really tempting for me.... I even know someone with a rolled expedition that has been sitting in his yard for a couple of years now. Might have to see how much he wants for the front seats.

Got mine for 40$. I couldn't use the console from an Expedition because of the 5speed and manual 4x4. Gotta get a regular f-150 console.

It's got the floor liner throughout the floor and there is a little X cut right in the middle. Probably for centering the console bracket!

Tracked down a center floor console from a 97 in a local wrecking yard, happens to be gray too. Gonna check it out Friday and get that mounted.

I'm hoping to find somebody who's been dreaming of a 60/40 for their truck.
