My personal suggestion is to find captain's chairs (frame, bolts, and all) from either an F series pick up or a bronco (your generation 93-96). Then pull out your old bench seat and install the captain's chairs. They are almost a direct fit. You might have to drill out a hole, but you should have most of them already in the floorboard of the bronco. I did this in my '86 and it took me about an hour and a half and I was probably 22 or 23 at the time. I think this was the first mod I did to my bronco, back in the late 90's.
Yo,
"...All '80-96 Bronco & '80-97 F-series seats (bench, bucket, whatever) are interchangeable. The most you'd have to do is add wiring for the lumbar pump. The floorpans are identical where the front seats go...."by Steve
Mount Info; "...The Broncos come equipped with both mounting capabilities, Bench and buckets. I just did this very swap from buckets to bench out of a 93 F150 XLT at the junk yard, it came with power dual lumbar, fold down arm rest, and dual cup holders for $45.00 in new condition. The mounting points for the bench are there under the carpet and they are plugged with rubber grommets. You do not have to tapped the holes either, the bolts that hold the buckets in place are self tapping, and they go in rather easy. The mounting points are made up of metal sleeves that are not threaded if never used and the self tapping bolts are easy to install. Just swap over the rubber plugs from the bench locations to the bucket locations and you are set. You also use the same seat belt locations and you are going to have to use the seat belts from the bench. The belt plastic sleeves are molded differently, and will not point in the right direction. Everything is plug and play, down to the lumbar..."
