60/40 seat conversion to buckets

Hello everyone, I am wanting to convert my 60/40 into buckets so that I too can install the expedition console.
Can anyone tell me how this is being done exactly and what year consoles will work for an 2002 supercrew.
Thanks.

I am using the stock 60/40 supercrew seats. The console came in today and looks great, just need to get the seat done.

I got my console in and everything went really simple. I am waiting on the seat, it should be ready for me to pick it up tomorrow. I will post up some pictures after I am done.

did you just take the bench to a upholstery shop and say....make it a bucket seat? or did you have a cutout already made or what? please go in depth on what you did to go from a regular bench to a bucket seat.
