    the steering colum will not bolt right in, but that doesn't mean that it won't work.. i still owe people more info on this.. i have been meaning to try the buckets to see, the pass side seat tracks will be differnt, the granada should hace a hump in the floor for the cat, im not sure weather or not they will directly swap. the console will fit and they look pretty good in a maverick..

    if the car is a 2 door and the seats are nice and the price is right grab them as well.. they are very sought after in the ford groups.. 4 door seats would be worth it as well, they just don't fold forward.. i would love to find another set of buckets..

    steve it looks to me like the only difference in granada front bench between 4 door and 2 door is that there is an extra bolt on each side of the bench. take out the top bolt and the seat back tilts forward and toward the middle. found this out putting in the granada bench... had to remove the seatback to squeeze the bench into my car. we left the seat back connected in the middle and found this lil tidbit of info.

    so your saying that this could make the 4 door seat able to fold forward?

    yeah the ones that have an armrest. i can't speak for all granada front benches but mine has the armrest that swings up and down. if you look where the seatback bolts to the bottom, you'll see two on each side. remove the top one and you have acess to the back seat like in a 2 door.
