F150 Bench Seat Install?

All,
As much as I like my Captains seats in my 93; when I have a third person in the truck, the jumper's just won't do. I have a wrecked 95 Ford F150 on my property, which has a really nice/clean bench seat. I was thinking of taking out the F150 bench, and putting it in the 93. This would allow 3 adults to sit comfortable in the front (auto). Anyone here done this? I haven't measured the mounting points of the F150 bench yet.

Dodge has the weirdest floor. you will learn that..... but dodges floor is so like sloped all though it may not look it. Any sit can fit in any truck is the way i put it.

Yesterday i put a 86 ford f150 seat in a 84 chevy K30. Just had the bend the brackets, other then that the holes lined right up.
maybe the ford seat in a dodge will be like that too.

Good luck, Brandon

Brandon,
Thanks for the reply! I will have to mess around with the F150 brackets, and see if I can line up the holes (with the original Dodge seats). I wish I had a mig welder, then fabbing up some brackets would be easy.

doubtful it will bolt right up.....highly doubtful. However if you know anything about using a grinder and a welder it should be pretty darn easy. or if you really dont feel like that just use some like 1/2 inch tubing as a giant washer to shim the seat mounts as needed. just my two cents.....

If you have access to a welder. weld the seat right
to the floor it will be nice and stable.
