Hi everyone,

Can I replace my bench seat in my 2000 f150 xl with a 97 f-150 seats 40/60 split with out modifying anything thanks for the help

 

I am not 100% sure?

But I have a 2003 Reg cab that had a Bench seat, & I installed Buckets & Console from a 2001 Expedition. All the mounting holes were present in my floor board. So I would say yes!

 

Should be plug and play.

 

Well that answered several of my questions. now to find the right color

are these a good buy???

 

$150 seems reasonable to me

 

yup. just make sure you stay with F150/Expy.

if you venture into F250 or Explorer territory its gonna take serious modifying

 

The holes you need for the 60/40 seat are existing in the floor (unthreaded), plugged with rubber plugs. They are 2 different sizes ( 10x1.5 and 12x1.75) and can either be threaded or just have the proper bolts forced into them.

 

Yup factory bolts are self tapping design

 

I used some bolts from the local hardware store (non-self tapping), which is why I ran a quick tap through prior to installing the bolts. If I was pulling the seats myself, I would definitely grab the factory bolts too ...

 

Thank you all for the help will post pics when done
