yes but to get the upholstery tucked perfect you'll need to take it to a shop. i think the console out of a supercrew would look nice as well. i have always been envious of the harley editions having the full length so i went with that style

my seat didnt mount to trans hump. if you look from the back you will see two bolts but that is just for each piece of your middle seat belt and these holes are actually where the rear bracket for console goes. sorry i left that out

My 60 part also mounts on the hump, but my seats are the more round style (no seatbelts on the seat). Sounds like for me to do this mod, seat frame mods will be needed (might be better to sell the seats I have and get buckets).

When I replaced the stock bench seat, I really wanted the buckets/console, but I also wanted to be able to carry 3 people in a pinch. Now that my truck has gone from the wife's daily driver (I can't believe it survived that duty basically intact) to my hobby truck, I'm wanting the buckets again.

looks awesome! I've got the lariat buckets with console, but I hate having to rest my arm on it. I wish I had armrests and an expy console instead!

isn't it because the 97/98 didn't have the seatbelts attached to the seats?
