Unhappy Where do you get your seats?

I have a 99 f150 xl reg. cab with the solid bench seat. I want to switch it out to a set of bucket seats but can't seen to find any for a reasonable price. I know what will fit and how easy it can be. I'm located in the twin cities (minnesota). If anyone has any ideas for me I'm up for any and all of them.
Thanks.

I've been looking for seats for my rig (05 f150) for a few months now and I haven't found anything in the tri-state area, and don't remember seeing anything for earlier years. Try a few junk yards, but I dont know how bad they would be as far as mold. The best one I've found is in Oronoco MN about an hour south of the cities on highway 52.

I've seen seats on ebay, though that can be risky.

I bought 60/40 seats for my XL on ebay. They weren't real cheap, but they were in excellent condition.

There are lots and lots of van conversion and truck conversion places in Elkhart and Goshen Indiana. They sell new OEM take out seat... I've seen lots of these places advertise in Indiana Auto and RV contact these click here Here's a pace that sells new stuffclik , but I don't know about price or quality. Of course there's always junk yards.

while ebay has what I'm looking for, its just too expensive for me. I'm hoping to spend no more than 200$. Does anyone have any ideas about seats from other makers such as dodge or chevy. My friend just replaced his seats and was able to find a ton around town for his chevy.
