? about pending seat swap

I apologize right off for asking a seat swap question. This topic has been discussed and explained a million times. Its 50% off this weekend at all our local Pick & Pull yards. My real reason for going looking was for a rear bumper. After my recent bed swap, my original flareside bed bumper is wider than the new/used styleside bed bumper. I sure hate to loose this near perfect bumper, but it doesn't fit, I have had a hard time finding a decent looking bumper.
So while there I found a nice set of gray cloth bucket seats, in a 1998 Ford Explorer 2 door. There nonpower, and the right side seat back tilts forward. So I'm just wanting to double check, These are going to fit my standard cab truck ? I don't mind any fab work needed on seat tracks & mounting. My fab skills are primed and ready for something a little easier.
I have been building a couple of custom bikes the last month. Lots of frame mods and one off pieces, that have had to be made.
So do you think I'm good to go and buy these tomorrow? Thanks all and Happy 4th of July.

The Explorer seats only seem to be bolt in on Extended Cab trucks. For a regular cab, you usually have to do a little fab work. If you're lucky, the tracks may swap around, but depending on the seats, the tracks may not be removable. That's when the fabrication will start.
