Question Seat swap - cringing and waiting for rocks

Been lurking this site for about a year. Decided to buy a Ranger because of this site. Helpful and bright people here that know answers and are really good at problem solving. Okay enough kissing up...

Some of you will want to throw sharp things at me because of the old question of seat swap but I can't find the sticky on seat swapping procedures.i read it a few times and bought 2001 explorer seats to swap for my 2001 Ranger. Please give me a link for the swap sticky.

I need some technical advise on the procedure. If you have the patience a time to help me, I put some pictures of the seats up in a gallery. Link to gallery...

Edit - should say I have a 2001 XLT 3.0

Possible answer for me

Thanks for helping me out. Here is something else I found. I may try messing with making my own track adapters.

Wow this is not easy

Spent more time making seat brackets. Worked on them Friday and Saturday. While I like making sparks fly cutting steel... This project is getting old.

I have all four floor brackets fabricated, I will post pictures later, then I ran across this option.

Ford Ranger Extended Cab 93-02, Mounting Bracket, Driver

I think it would have been a wash on price when you consider money spend on replacing burned out drill bits, cutting wheels and gas, not to mention my time.
