Question Ford E250 2001 Bucket Seats, Cabin vs Mid-Back

Hello SMB-ers

I have this unused mid-back bucket seat (a spare seat attaches to the floor between the back bench and forward cabin seats), and I am considering selling it.

However, before I sell...
Can a mid-back bucket seat switch out a forward cabin swivel seat?

This seat's attachment hardware is entirely different than a swivel.

Mid-Back Seat floor bracket...


Mid-Back Seat...

Never seen these before. Do you have a photo showing it installed? I may be interested if you're indeed selling.

Look at the sliders under the seat bottom. Not the actual base. If the sliders are in the same location you may be able to switch bases.
Id also be interested in taking a look if you do sell. I just bought a similar one and wouldn’t mind a match for the passenger side.
I’m local in Renton.

I have a 2000 SMB with the same seat and base. They are meant to be quick disconnect seats so all you do is unscrew one giant screw at the front of the seat base, lean the seat back and pull the seat out. My rear captains chairs also swivel, are you sure your seat doesn’t swivel? My front seats mount differently, they use 4 bolts if I remember correctly and the front seats do not have built in seatbelts like the rear captains chairs do.

Are these factory original? They don't look like Ford seats from that time period. Maybe aftermarket or from a different manufacturer?

If your slider dimensions match the drawing, Name:  3A7284F2-5ED7-4C58-B101-2819EB47FD7E.jpeg

Size:  15.9 KBthen the seats will attach to the swivel slider mounting tabs. You will have to determine how to mount the swivels to the floor.

I have 2 seats, we keep one out for more space. Also the mounting base sits about 1/2” above the carpet so I threw some left over foam around it so we can put tubs over the seat base and they sit flat.
