Is this factory buckets in a 1969 Ranger? I am pretty sure because brackets inside of cab corner are still there for carpet or vinyl over gas tank.

I have only seen one and it was a F100 sport with buckets and I don't remember exactly what they looked like.

 

i think so. i have a set of the buckets but no brackets.

 

although these bucket seats are rare in a truck, didnt they use these same ones in lots of mustangs and whatnot?

 

Hey Rusty, haven't seen you around for a while, you still playing with the old Ranger stuff?

leonharu, I had a set the same as those in my 1947 ford pickup and when I did some research I cam up with the info below. Hope it helps.

You can buy new sewn ready to install original style seat covers and the foam pads from Mustang suppliers

Some info...
1965/66 Rangers used the exact same bucket seats as were used in 1965/66 Mustangs.
The upholstery pattern is the exact same thing also (non GT).
The seat tracks are the same as 1965/70 Mustangs.
C4ZB engineering numbers were used on Mustangs sold between 4/23 thru 8/23, 1964.
Bucket seats were also available on 1967/72 F100/350's. The same 1965/66 Mustang seats were used.

 

Forgot the part number that was on my seats in the earlier post. It was a metal tag bent over the zigzag springs c4zb-6563100-e.

 

Hey John,how have you been doing?Yes,I am still out there looking for them rare "Barn Find Rangers".

 

Doing well bud, how long have you had the F1?




John

 

John, I have had it about 20 years all together.I did sell it once and bought it back later.It has a little sentimental value.Me and my wife left the church in it when we got married in 1986.

 

I should have known, lol. Do you still have the blue 70s truck that was your daddys?




John

 

Yes.I still have the 73 but it hardly ever gets driven anymore.I sold my 66 and bought a 40 Ford sedan that I have been doing some work on.Do you have any projects your working own?

 

Same ones, I haven't touched my projects in years. Looks like I got behind and can't catch back up.

Those look right to me. I had white ones in my 69 custom cab, took them out for a bench (the lower seating position of the bucket was bad for me).

 

very interesting. i found probly 10 different mustang bucket seats on ebay and wouldnt mind adapting them to my truck, but question is will they sit high enough? looks like i would be basically sitting on the floor and not able to look over the windshield, are the brackets and everything identical and all i do is bolt them in?
