Can anyone give me a web site where after market seats for a Ranger can be ordered ? Also , can anyone tell me how to get odors out of fabric of seats in my Ranger ? I am afraid just buying covers will just hide the smell temporary . Smells like curdled milk or sweat , not sure , but really bad . If so , I will not need new seats.......Thanks in advance....

 

Try a good interior cleaner/soap, scrub brush, shop vac, and lots of water to lift and float the traces of whatever away. I suppose you can always try Fabreeze, but I wouldn't hold my breath (no pun intended) on lasting results. I've also removed seats so I could set them on the ground and get them soaking wet with a garden hose, shampooed, rinseed, then vac............then repeat. Much easier that way.

 

I have the seats out waiting on new carpet now so maybe I will give that a shot . I will wait a few to see if I get some other ideas . Thanks for your quick reply...

 

Try the local salvage yard,the ones in my area sell the pair for $100.

 

Here's Allan D's list of seats that fit in a Ranger.

Tempo/Topaz
All years. Tempo GT's are the nicest. Tilting "pillow" headrest and frequently power lumbar.


Escort/Lynx
1981-1991? GT's again are the nicest,
"Halo" style headrest, sometimes power lumbar.


Mustang
Don't bother looking they will be gone when you get there. If you're lucky, look for Mustang GT's.
Also halo style headrests on GTs.


Thunderbird
1982-1988, Turbocoupe has nicest seats same as Mustang GT but with tilting "pillow" head rests, almost always power-lumbar, adjustable thigh support, adjustable side bolsters on base. The best factory ford seat (IMHO).


1986 Merkur XR4TI
The front seats from an 86 Merkur XR4TI will fit in a B2, so I assume rangers too, If you drill out the rivets, and swap the brackets from the tracks, 1/2 hour per, the seats I used gave me height adjust, adjustable headrest, lumbar support, much better lateral support, (no more bouncing out of the seatbelt) and they're heated. (Submitted by Merc)


All of these will bolt directly to your factory tracks if you have either Buckets or split-bench.

If you have a conventional bench then you will need to replace your tracks with split-bench/bucket-seat tracks. (Toss your solid bench tracks they are completely different).

You will have to run a Tap through some pre drilled holes in the bottom of the seat frames. The holes are already there but unthreaded.

If you have a conventional cab Ranger you will probably have to use the "halo" style headrest used in Mustangs and Escort GT models, as the pillow style will hit the rear window. This forces the seat back into a very upright position. (and is EXTREMELY uncomfortable)

If you have a Supercab Ranger or a Bronco2 headrest clearance isn't an issue.

One other word of warning Ranger Standard-cab, Ranger Supercab and Bronco II's all have different floor pan profiles and so use different seat tracks, so if you want to put buckets or a split-bench into a std cab Ranger you must get your seat tracks out of a std cab Ranger.

 

If I find replacement seats at a salvage yard, will any ranger 60/40 seats ( Std or ext Cab) fit my 1996 Ranger ? Right now I have a std cab, two wheel drive, % speed shift. Thanks again for all the info............

 

seats out of anything mid size will fit..you will have to use your mounting brackets.

 

go to a local janitorial supply store, go get ODORDES******... comes in concentrate, and kicks butt at getting rid of funkiness... Buddy had dead mice and cat spray all over his bachelor pad... two squirts and it was history. I use it industrially at work and it never let me down., or just go custom if you got the $$$

 

ok o dor des troy er (all one word) why is this being censored?

 

Thanks a lot for everybodies post . I had asked some local people near me about the situation also .One said he could take seat covering off, wash it real good, sun the foam and put all back together .
Another couple said to put Baking soda all over the seats and let them set a couple days in the sun . This later one is what I decided to do and it seem to take away all the smell it had . i will srray a little Febreeze on it too when I get my new carpet installed .Thanks again ......

 

perhaps a really cool idea is getting new seatcovers and re-apolster the seats custom... takes $$$ but usually turns out pretty pimp depeding on the selection
