Hi all
I have a 97 ford 555e and I am looking for a 12"bucket .
Will older ford buckets interchange?
Will any form other brands fit?

Ford is the only manufacturer, I know of, that uses the same size pin for both the front and back pins. This leads me to believe that only buckets that are designed to fit a Ford will work. The most recent Ford that I ran was a "D" model 655. It shared the same pin size/ arrangement with all predecessors back to the 655 (pre "A" model). If I remember correctly the 555 and 655 shared the same pin dimensions as well.
