Do they sell different brackets? I have bucket seats out of a 95 for my 94.5 and the brackets don't line up at all. The 95 was an extended cab as well. Just curious as to if they sell replacement brackets because it looks like the brackets come off

Assuming your truck originally had a bench seat, it won't have the mounting holes or reinforcements for the buckets.

You'll have to drill the holes as best you can locate them.
From the factory, a bucket seat equipped Supercab also has reinforcements for the mounting points since there was floor cracking issues with earlier trucks and Broncos.
For mine, I picked up a center console mounting plate from a 40/20/40 and used it as a template and measured everything multiple times before any drilling commenced.

This sounds like a pita lol. It doesnt make sense becuase the front brackets arent even across. Like where the bracket curves down, it doesnt come close to matching at all.

Here is my experience: Picked up a nice set of 40/20/40 OBS buckets with console. Never really thought about the brackets. The new seats came out of a Super Cab, going into a Regular Cab. The seats were the same but the mounting was different. Had to put the new seats on the old bracket which is a full width part that bolts to the same points as the bench seat. Visualize 2 seats and center console go on bracket, then goes in cab as a unit.
So this messed up the plan for the 86 to have a set of OBS 40/20/40. This was resolved by finding a truck with junk seats and getting the mounting, Now I have bolt in OBS seats in the slantnose as well.

Now if we are talking individual bucket seats like a Bronco, that is another issue. I have a 95 F250 SC parts truck with individual buckets if you need me to check anything out.

If you have the seat for that truck i could definitely use the brackets to see if those will work. only thing is i believe these seats are out of a 95, they are individual bucket seats and i do not know what configuration the truck had before. When i got the truck it had a RC/CC 40/20/40 in it that was not bolted down.

Looks more like the latter, we tried a set of buckets out of a 95 ext cab & a 40/20/40 out of a reg/crew cab & neither one came close to lining up. Really don't make any sense.
