Default Swapping out bench seat from WS with a 60/40 split bench?

As you can see by the title, this is about the seating. Can you swap out a bench seat from a WS reg cab truck with a 60/40 split bench from an SLT?

Should be a bolt in swap as long as your year range is similar. They didnt change floor pans for quite a few years, as far as I know.

You may run into an issue with seat belts. The benches in trucks with the rear doors have their seat belts in the seat backs. If the regular cab trucks have the seat belts on the B pillar then you're going to have a mismatch somewhere and will have to work that out.

Otherwise, I assume the mounting locations would be the same but I do not know for sure. All Rams I have worked on were extended cab trucks with rear doors.

My truck is just a regular cab, but if I got a split bench from a regular cab ram it would be fine right? 94-01 floor pans are all the same right?

Assuming both are regular cab trucks, then I would 'assume' the seat belts and mounting locations would also be the same.

Seat swap from regular cab to regular cab, the seat belt mounts and function are the same.
