We just did this swap in my buddies 99 this weekend. He went with bucket seats and bought them off Ebay for a good price. The seats matched and we added power for the power drivers side. Its an easy swap if you can find the seats. Possibly you could find a good clean set that matches at local wrecking yard
But like firezapper mentioned you need to watch out how your seat belts mount. The older ones had the shoulder/lap belt mounted to the ceiling area and some of the newer ones are integrated into the seats. It could mean a big difference in what year specific/style seats you would need. Another thing to look at is your truck has 4 mounting bolts now for the bench seat. The style you are looking at may have 6-8 so you will need more seat bolts....We needed 4 more on the conversion we did.

Yea I just did the conversion to buckets myself. My write up
Depending on the year seats you get the 60 section mounts at different locations.... I think the split is the 2002 seats. But no matter which you get all the holes are there. Just need the bolts.
