Default 1st Gen Bucket Seats

Are there any 1st gen dakotas that come with bucket seats or are all 1st gen daks standard with 60/40 seats?

If you were to buy 2nd gen seats, what do you need to do to the seat frame to make it work? Bending, lengthing, or what?

I remember seeing some bucket seats that didnt look like 2nd gens, and maybe that was you with them. What years were there bucket seats for the 1st gens.

ohhh! real nice slt. but it does look like the buckets out of a caravan (knowing car companies there probably interchangeable). like i said if i can put the buckets out of a 78 pacer into a 73 gremlin, anything is possible.
the rails don't even look close to the factory, seem narrower slt.

They are 100% factory first gen Dakota seats. I didn't put them in my truck, they came with my truck.

I still have the stock 93 seats and they are still in great shape and comfy as hell. Alot softer on the tooshie than my ZJ seats.

I have those same buckets and console in mine too...I believe it's a sport and SLT thing...also I believe being a Club Cab had something to do with it as well...

I have a 60/40 seating setup in my 93 ext cab right now

Planning on going to a salvage yard this weekend to pick up some bucket seats. Is the center console in anyway attatched to the seats?

And is the center console easily removable?
