I am looking to replace the bench seat in my '81 J10 and want to know which model seats are a fit, and which might require some modification.
Specifically, there is an '88 Wagoneer for parts over in the Classifieds, but would like to know in general what models I could grab bucket seats from.
Also, was reading a while back about using Ford Escort and/or Mustang seats, would be interested in info on that.

Thanks,

Tom

The 88 wag seats are a direct bolt in and the Mustang and Escort are almost a direct bolt in but there is some drilling required.

If you have the bottom seat mounts and the sliders its a cinch to put most any seat in yer truck. I just put seats from a Mecury Tracer in my '83 Cherokee. I went to the junk yard looking for Mustang seats, but they were all in poor shape. Anyway, I installed the Tracer seats by cutting 4 - 17" x 2" x 1/8" steel adapters, and drilling four holes in each. The adapters open up your world to using much more comfortable seats. Hope this helps.
