seat swap

hello, how hard would it be to swap out a 96 regular cab f-250 bench seat for 96 f-250 40/20/40....I've wanted to do this for a while and I found a set for $200...Thanks

It should be really easy, just 4 bolts is all it should be. Maybe a 10 minute job.

They'll fit, but none of the mounting points are the same. It's worth it though. The SD seats are way better than the broken down old bench seat I used to have.

The SD are very nice...MUCH more supportive...HOWEVER, one thing I never heard about before putting mine in...They sit quite a bit higher than the stock seats....I am 6' tall and I fit fine, BUT if you are much taller you are going to have your head very near the ceiling.
