I've been toying with the idea of replacing the bench seat with a couple buckets...and I'm just curious what some of you went with...and how easy was the install? Money is a factor...so I'm curious what was the cheapest.

some people just take sub/blazer buckets and consoles and use custom brackets to mount them... have seen others pull seats from other cars.. due to the humps in the trucks for the tanks, it makes it hard.. if you arent careful you head will rub the ceiling and your knees will rub the steering wheel.. for the most part any seat you want can be modified in some way, mostly in bracketry to fit.. depends. you want solid mount or adjustable..

I bought some off Ebay from a F@rd Taurus SHO. They look good in the truck but I had to make some spacers for them and redrill holes and braces.
