shouldn't be too difficult... the only problem is hiding the holes from the bench seat because the mounts might not be the same... and to find a seat probably your best bet would be a junkyard

The original owner swapped in all 4 leather captains chairs from an F150 supercrew (I assume this because they have 'Limited' stitched in the headrests) The only downside is that the rears don't fold very far foward and they also don't slide up if you wanted to get in to the 3rd row. I suppose if I got rid of my combination sub box / center console you could pass through to the back, like in a mini van.

It used all existing mounting holes, nothing had to be drilled.

It's just a pain when you go to load something large in the back and the seats only tilt 12" forward.

my 12 and 17 yr olds like to lay down during trips if they are watching movies on the 12 inch...i plan on putting monitors in the back of the front seats and when i do i may take out the middle and put a console in there or find some what to cover the anchor points fromt the middle seat...thats down the road next year...
