Festus put it best. You aren't going to gain any respect around here with such poor grammar. Not from me any way.

Plus the fact that what you posted had nothing to add to the topic. Nobody here needs to hear that you have issues either. We all do and this forum is not the place for you convey them.

Normally when I see such jibberish, I just skip over the post and don't even waste my time.

If you need help with something, then I'd be glad to help if you ask properly and sensibly.
you go stosh, glad to see someone speak up. if I want to hear talk like that I can go see my 3 year old grand son. back to the thread. yes the bronco seats fit, I have them in 2 of my trucks. the outside holes line up, drill new holes for the inside brackets. as stated before, make sure to use large fender washers under the bolts from the bottom, to strengthen the floor.try to get the seat belt clip ends from the donor bronco. the ones from a bench seat are shaped a little different, will work, but it is easier to hook/unhook the ones from the bronco.

Good point about the seat belts. I got lucky and was able to find a good set from another Super Cab truck.

When I first grabbed those seats, I did not even think about grabbing the seat belts too and when I went back the Bronco was already crushed.

I got lucky and found those nice seats in one of the yards that I frequent for $17 each. They are Saddle Tan, but match the Fawn interior I have close enough.

your bad stosh. the last set of bronco seats and consol cost me $100, and the driver's seat had a cigarette burn in it

Nope, not bad but GOOD. I have a system worked out for finding stuff like this.

I have several good sources for these parts and it's taken me quite a while to find that pair. Out of a hundred trucks that I look through, I may find one good part if I'm lucky.

I travel daily to several places within a hundred mile radius and you have to be quick to find stuff like that. If the truck or Bronco is in the yard for more than a day or two I am already too late. It's already been picked through.

The key is to get there the day it hits the yard. Sometimes I get there early and wait for them to bring the fresh vehicles out.

Stosh. Do you have any pics of the outside of the truck those buckets are in? If it half as clean as the inside that is a nice truck.

None of the exterior other than what's in my gallery.

I did break down the other day though and got wood!

I ditched the black and gray waffle weave bezels, black door handles, window cranks and knobs in exchange for chrome. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the Rosewood, but it's growing on me. It makes the truck look more vintage IMO.

I also repainted my needles back to the stock orange instead of red. While I had the cluster out, I also installed new 194 bulbs and I finally got around to re-installing my transfer case shifter boot. Now that I have the correct radio bezel for the clock, one of those went in too.

All I need to do is find a good working shaft style radio. I did find a couple in the yard, but the preset buttons didn't work.


Here is a shot though the rear slider and from the driver's side door:

Those are easily fixed.

Take the top off the radio, being careful not to damage the noise supressor attached to the top.

At the right side of the radio, where the tuning dial shaft comes in and connects to the tuner, you will find a round circular part with a rubber "Washer" sandwitched between the two metal sections and a white plastic gear.

This rubber washer is supposed to slip, because one side is hooked to the dial, and one is hooked to the preset buttons on the tuner. More than likely with the radios that the preset buttons are stuck, this rubber washer is "stuck" to the two metal components it's sandwitched between.

You basiclly "unstick" the rubber washer, from both sides of the round metal component, and use some sand paper and some dielectric grease to keep the component and rubber washer from "sticking together". Use the grease sparingly or your tuning dial will slip too much, and you can't tune the radio.

Hopefully this makes sence. Do not know the right terminology for what the internal part is called. Once you have the top off the radio, it should be obvious.
