rear seat conversion...need some input/guidance

So after seeing the amazing new super duty king ranch with the rear buckets, I decided that I want that in my truck. My only problem is, I like having my seats fold down, and I use the storage compartment behind the seat. My questions are:

1) how hard would it be to get another 40 part of the 40/60 rear bench and just mount it in place of the 60?

2) how hard would it be to fabricate a console for in the back?

If i can get a console for the back, that would completely solve my subwoofer location issues (adding an infinity basslink, which I could just stick inside the console. What do you guys think? I buddy at work said that the harley supercrews came with rear captains...anyone have any more info on this?

she is retired for now, let me know if you have any questions. The seatbelt holes, and seat mounts were all there on my truck (except one), but ive told someone that before with an 01 and he said his didnt have any of the extra holes. So i would pull your 60% seat out and pull up the carpet and see what you have there before you find your 40% seat.

Flip over the hardware for the front bracket of the seat and you should only have to drill one hole in the floor. when you drill the hole if you do it correctly you can weld a nut to the under side of the body of the truck so the bolt has something to thread into b.c the way mine is, the bolt goes into the sheet metal floor, but has nothing to hold onto.

hmmm yeah, I read all through that, seems pretty simple. How hard was it for you to find the seat? Mine will probablly be harder because I have the lariat with tan leather...

That sub box is awesome too. Im not sure If I want to do something like that, or if I want to try and find another console like what I have in front. Are you still looking for something to try and fab cupholders/storage out of?

I just want to go for a ride in Patman's truck... seriously...

If I'm in Texas, near Waco one of these days, I will let you know... I've got to admit, Patman's truck is unique.
