I went from Bench to buckets and really nothing needed other then drilling a few holes for the console and i think the passengerside seat mount needed a hole or two drilled on that side to mount it. The bucket seat trucks do have more bracing then the bench seat trucks under the floor for the inside seat mounts.

I recently got front power seats out of a 2005 and put them into my 1992. had to cut off the rear brackets to shorten them and weld on flat supports to allign to the bolt holes.
Seats improved the ride considerable and nice to have the passanger seat adjust independently from the drivers. Center consul that doubles as a middle seat has great storage. power lumbar support also a nice plus on long drives.
Cost $300, sold the old seat for $100 fast on craigslist.
