60-63 ranchero seat

Looking for some ideas based on what other people have done- I recently picked up a 62 ranchero and I'm missing a seat. The rest of the car is rough and run through, so I'm not concerned about keeping it original or original style.

What bucket seats have people used in their ranchero? I've seen some stuff about foxbody seats and mustang seats but not sure how those would fit in the cab. I'm also curious if newer seats with better adjustability and lumbar support would fit. I'm re-wiring and fabricating the rest of the car, so power seats will work fine. Ideally it'd be nice to find something that I could find cheaper used, as this is a bit of a budget oriented daily build instead of a restoration

Speaker placement

Trying to make a decent enough system for an early 60's Thunderbird- I'm not looking for the best system in the world, just something that sounds pretty good to get an idea where I'm headed with this.

I've already got two 6.5" speakers in the rear deck lid with mostly sealed boxes underneath. I can't really seal them completely due to the trunk spring bar going through where I need to mount them. Anyways, now I'm going to focus on the front.

The factory has one speaker mount, a 6x9 mounted directly in the middle of the dash facing up. It mounts on the sides, not the standard corners so an adapter plate is needed.

I'm thinking about having two 4" component speakers up front for a bit better mids and highs, I'm planning on putting a sub in the trunk eventually so bass isn't the biggest concern. I can either put the two 4" woofers in the center of the dash side by side or 3d print some custom kick panels and put them there. I'm planning on putting the two tweeters near the A pillar where it meets the dash for some better separation between right and left. Which of the two places would you put the 4" woofers? I'm not interested in getting bigger speakers in the doors as I like the original door cards and they're pretty hard to find in good shape
