1st Gen 2nd Row Bench to Buckets

[CaptainRed]

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Was wanting to get rid of my 2001 XLT Expy, but had a change of heart and decided to upgrade the interior to leather. First, the rear bench. Swapped right in . Next came the 2nd row swap. I wanted leather buckets.

I bought the seats without looking at the mounting holes, figuring that
the XLT and EB had predrilled locations for either setup.

Not so.

I got rid of the 2nd row for access to the third row.

My problem is that the 2nd row buckets' front brackets line up fine, but the rear has a vertical hook thing, similar to the horizontal one used in the bench. No flat mounting bracket.


I have searched high and low on the web for a 2nd row bench to bucket
conversion and have come up with nothing.

Any suggestions besides going out and buying a middle row leather bench?

Has anyone successfully completed this conversion?

Thanks in advance for any advice/input.

Look at the navigators they have 2 captains chairs and a fat console between them that you can take off

My truck had them, but it was done by the original owner.

The seats had the 'Limited' script embroidered in to them, so I assume that they came from an F150 super crew. They didn't fold flat forward, so they probably weren't from an excursion.

It didn't look like any of the mounting holes needed to be drilled. All the brackets looked factory.
