I have a 1996 dakota sport 4wd and i want to put in bucket seats.  I have a bench right now and want to put in the buckets but unsure what year seat will bolt on. 

Does anyone know what year seats will fit?  Or have pictures of how you bolted them in.

The reason for doing this is i like bucket seats, and i want to make a custom sub box in the middle

I do believe any of the '91-'96 should work, and if you scavenge the rails along with the seats it should be a direct bolt-in. The bodies are the same, and universal. The mounting holes should already be there, may have to pop out a plate but that should be it.

CA, its legal here but there are restrictions, the seat belts have to be bolted to the frame and stuff like that.

Just wondering, why would you want to do that anyway?
