If I wanted to put a different seat in the front is there a different make and model from a different car or truck that will bolt up or bolt up with very little fab work?

I have a 66 ford bronco.

Thanks, Bryan

 

Nothing is going to bolt right in. That said, most any seat is easily adapted to mount. Keep in mind the passenger bucket seat allows for rear access by folding up, so high back buckets will remove this function. I have a Ranger 60/40 split bench seat in mine, but it is a half cab. Save your mounting brackets as they can be bolted to the existing tracks on some seats. Early Mustang seats are the same as the Bronco, but doubt that is what you're looking for.

 

Thanks for another opportunity to comment, again welcome to the forum and site.

Much like drive line components, electrical systems, and suspension parts the application of the end product in the automotive field is entirely dependent on what is brought together for that purpose. W/the bronk, being multi-purpose, it may B even more critical to look at that application for which it is intended. Otherwise it's just a mash up (in the younger folks' words). As written on my other post to this Q - your separate thread, I like the oe seat (as Richard sez "like a 'stang") due to having a low rise back. However, I use the vehicle almost entirely as a "work truck". A 53" 'bench' would B nice in my opinion. Occasionally, like my Percheron going to the Pull (I'd put some bells on the harness and polish the whipple trees, etc) I take the bronk to the parade or summer Monday nites car show. I don't change entire components 4 that, tho.

Again, what is your application or end goal? I believe that answer can assist us to offer some more accurate suggestions (C examples in response 2 ur other post...

 

I very easily bolted in a set of high back buckets from a 80 or 90? ish convertible Mustang. All I had to do was hammer flat the back mount tabs on the mustang seat rails and they went right in.

As far as the passenger side being lower.... I had just put a 3/16 sheet of tread plate from the dvrs side door edge to the passenger side. So I had a flat surface level with the dvrs side.

It gave me a small storage space under it on the passenger side and the Mustang factory seat rails and seat tilt still works great.

I even found a pic without my seat covers on, sorry I do not have the exact year of the Mustang.

I then put the ammo can center storage console with the Ford Ranger padded arm rest.
And the dvrs seat belt is off the crewchief seat of a Blackhawk, thats what the inertial reels are. Its a 5 point that allows me to move around but I am still belted in just in case.

Looks like I was still working the mount position of the 5th point.

 

hey guys..not sure how dead this thread exactly is but i was doin some searching and this popped up. I'm putting the lowback bronco seats from a 73 bronco in my 68 f100. I know the bronco seat tracks are 1 piece and differ from what I need. Oh..and sorry for hijacking...but I was curious if the seat track setup from the bronco just unbolts, and I can put in the seat tracks from an early mustang so that theyll fit my truck? is it the exact same hole spacing for mounting? I haven't been given a straight answer yet..
Thank you so much in advance!

 

"...I haven't been given a straight answer yet..."
Seems like they're both sayin U can't get around the "high side low side" issue...

"...seat track setup from the bronco just unbolts..."
Yes.

"...can put in the seat tracks from an early mustang so that theyll fit my truck?"
As above: Yes & No.
(if by truck U mean bronk
don't know bout f100 - go 2 dat forum)

"is it the exact same hole spacing for mounting?"
Why does it matter? (I bet they're pretty close for the right yrs: 1st yr stang - late '60s). It's a simple hole in a piece of sheet metal, easily adaptable if not already exact...

Good luck, keep talkin.

 

Ok..been busy with my engine. Gonna be picking up the seats this weekend. There's several sets that I can choose from. He said anything I get will need upholstery..but it ain't no biggie. As long as the pieces are all there. I still need to see if the mustang tracks will fit..but as you said..its a simple fix if so. Know any good..cheap places to get foam and upholstery?

 

All the typical EB vendors: Jeff's, Tom's, BCB, WH, I've use the 1st since '83. I 4get how it's listed - Jeff's Bronco Grave Yard.com? broncograveyard.com?

Where R U located? Might's well use the closest (could that reduce the shipping costs?). Get the hog rings/plyers @ same time?
