i want bucket seats, which will fit?

i want to put some bucket seats in my truck to replace the bench seat, which seats will fit? ive been keeping my eyes open for some gen1 lightning seats but no luck just yet. will explorer/ranger seats fit? are they different than regular f-150 seats at all? thanks.

if you want bucket seats trying ones from a ranger (60/40) would be a bitch to fab in there and you probably would have much extra space and your ride hight would be a little off i would try ones out of the same truck or a bronco and maybe you can find an eddie b. edition i got lucky and had access to a gen. 1 lightning and put the seats from that into my truck i dont know how much your willing to spend but on this website (www.truckstuff.org)this guy will custom make you some seats in any color and fabric and build them to bolt right in the good ones are about $600.00 delivered to your door but some are only $300.00 wich isnt too bad and all have center console and drink holders and stuff check it out

My g/f has nice tan leather seats in her 94 exploder but she likes my 40/20/40 Eddie B ones instead, the lumbar(sp?) is great on long trips. I'm getting rid of the middle seat/console soon, having a custom console/sub box made so it will be up for sale.
My buddies 96 XLT has the same seats but his are gray, gray would probly look better then tan in your truck.

Nope. Maybe in the Lariats. My 96 XLT has the cloth bench with the fold down center armrest and the adj. lumbar support air bags. It was the standard seat that year and for the 95s as well.
