So I have a 3rd gen extended cab Pickup (1990) with 60/40 bench seat. I'd like to swap in bucket seats and center console out of a 1990 4Runner. My questions is... I know bucket seats are included in SR5 trim pickups. All 4Runners I've seen have bucket seats. Is there any difference between the bucket seats in an SR5 4Runner and a non-SR5 4Runner? It's my understanding (based on searching the seat swap topic) that 3 of the mounting points should line up, with the 4th (rear inner) being different. I also understand I may need to drill holes on top of the transmission tunnel to mount the center console. Are there any other tidbits of info I should know before purchasing these seats for the swap? Thanks in advance for any advice on this topic! Included is a pic of the seats, for reference.

The seat mounts should be the same, but the actual seats can be different. I believe that the passenger seat, passenger side mount can be shorter depending on if is from a 2 or 4 door 4Runner, but it is easy enough to drill a hole. Measure the mounts on both the truck and 4Runner to be sure before you buy them.

I put a 2nd gen 4Runner center console in my '88 pickup, and I had to make my own mounts and drill holes. More than likely you will have to do that with your truck, but there might be some plugs or some kind of marking where you need to drill holes if you get the 4Runner mounts being that your truck is the same generation as the 4Runner. If the 4Runner has a rear heater, then you will have to fab your own mount for sure, but it is not as difficult as it sounds. I did it without a special bender or anything like that.

I also put seats from a '92 pickup in the same truck, and the mounts were very close. I ended up swapping the mounts from a similar year of truck for other reasons because I am kind of OCD about that kind of stuff, but you should not have that problem being that yours are from similar years.
