Seats 73-80 bolt in
 

IS there a direct bolt in seat upgrade for these trucks that doesn't require modification or custom brackets?

Looking for something can pick up in the salvage yard that looks good and comfy. I like the look of the 90s style 2-tone bench but if I remember correctly, doesn't mount that nice.

Because of the shape of the floor you are pretty much limited to 73-87 style seats with no mods. The 88-94/95-98 seat can mount to the stock 73-87 tracks with very minimal mods and work great

Any "how to's" on the mods needed?

If you going to use 88 and up seats. You will just need the stock 81-87 tracks. You will have to figure out the location, on the bottom of the seat and weld them. This is probably the easiest, if your determined to have a different seat. My truck had a 88-89 seat in it, when I bought it. But I wanted the correct seat in the truck, so I went back with the 81-87 style.
The last pic is the cover I’m getting ready to change it too.

This should answer everything. It covers using a split bench, but regular bench is the same except you only need ione set of tracks.
