Wish I could trade my bench seat for captains chairs

Carnivore · 08-02-2012, 02:23 PM

Does anyone know if there's a place that will allow me to trade this even if it costs a little more?

I doubt you would be able to trade but you could try contacting an automobile recycling company to see if there are any 'wrecked' Explorers. They usually have a large network of recyclers.

Are the mounting brackets even the same?

Great question, we are trying to do the opposite, we want the bench and want the captains chairs and console gone

I would like to know if it is possible also.

In my old F-150 I decided I didn't want the captains chairs I wanted the 60/40. So I found someone with 60/40 that wanted captains chairs... bada bing, bada boom. Without seeing it I can't personally guarantee, but knowing Ford assembly line stuff they probably made it as easy to swap these as possible - doubt they would make two whole body builds based on what types of seats were ordered. On the f-150 you just had to cut out some small pieces of carpet where the bolts would've gone, and there was the hole there, stick a bolt through it of appropriate size, bada bing.
It was a little more messy on the side of the person who had the captains chairs (me) because now there were several holes in the carpet that weren't needed anymore. I would've just dealt with it but since it was a show truck... I replaced the carpet.
