Default Bench to bucket seat conversion

I didn't know what category to put this under but I was wondering if I could swap in bucket seats to my 1996 4-door. Right now I have the 60/40 split, and I want the bucket seats for the deeper center console. I was worried that the seats wouldn't fit/the deeper center console wouldn't bolt on or wouldn't fit with my manual t-case. If anyone has done this sort of thing and could offer insights, that would be greatly appreciated. Also if I were to get power seats, how difficult would wiring them in be?

I'm pretty sure the bucket seats will bolt right in, but I'm not sure about the console. You might have to modify the console to work with your manual transfer case, or find one that was built for it.
My brother did this swap in reverse. He swapped bucket seats for a bench in his project truck.
