What do I need to do this other than the armrest? Is there a bracket that must be installed inside the seat?

I dont like the Center Seat and want a regular center console. If you all can help me figure this out, I will be getting rid of my center seat. I searched and did not find anything. Has anyone done this before?

ok well found a guy local that was selling the center fold down seat/Arm rest with storage in the back you know the center of 40/20/40 as I assumed before, the arm rest's had to come off, to do this I pulled the fabric back from around the pivot side of arm rest's, then the foam, and there is a torx head screw in there remove it arm rest pop right off, how ever to answer the original queston there is a bracket in the captains chair i DONT BELIEVE THERE IS IN THE NON CAPTAINS CHAIRS, and the studs the arm rest pivot off of these they did not appear to be removable in any way with out cuttin the fabric back or removing the entire seat back cover I did not want to do this so I covered my seats up to protect them and used a cut off tool and cut them off, and plenty of clearance and the center seat blocks the brackets from sight up or down. with the center console because I had the factory floor console, I did not have the rear studs for the center seat installed, I had to pop some threaded certs into the floor and put my own studs in to anchor the rear of the center jump seat but beside's that the fronts bolted in with the exsisting captains and it looks factory just like 40/20/40. hope this helps.

did you happen to take any pics? i thought you could remove the arm rest "stud" by taking off the seat covers. also, when you:

had to pop some threaded certs into the floor and put my own studs in to anchor the rear of the center jump seat

does that mean the rear of the bracket for the center "20" seat does not line up with the factory bolts for the outer chairs?

First I said that they may come out if you were to take the seat covers off, but I did not want to go through that hassel, as I do not intend to ever reinstall the floor console and go back to captains, and no the rear bracket unlike the front bracket on the center seat is way narrower (spelling?) and I am sure there is a bracket from ford that goes between the outer seat studs in the rear and adapts but I did not feel like waiting to find one, I have a entire shop full of hardware and fasteners of all sorts at my disposal so I just made my own. much easier for me personally. I'll try to remember to take some pictures this week end and post.

You could always try a newer model console. I read somewhere that it will bolt right in but not totally sure. You can get them pretty cheap too.
