no, you are wrong.... the 65-66 brackets are $140.00 bucks now, a 15 dollar increase in price since i started making them a few years ago. i do my best to keep the cost affordable for a Awesome product, the brackets are laser cut and professionally bent to spec's using 3/16 plate steel. the first 67-72 brackets i had made were from a modified set of originals, thus they were not correct. i paid for them to be re-designed from the first 15 sets of brackets i had sold @ $160.00 bucks per set. I doubt anyone could make them for less keeping the quality the same as i provide.

In addition to the 65-66 brackets, i offer a pattern for you to make the fender badge's (with the correct font) and now have in the works the console and curtain brackets needed to build a clone ranger.

rcjm66, right now i am out of stock on the 65-66 brackets, will be a few weeks before i get more in. (that is if you want a set)

Area351, Good Luck with making your own.

 

Hey Bill, I ended up going with the blue & white pony seats. Here is a updates pics

 

Hi Clint, pic's not coming through... but, i am glad they worked out for you!

 

I think I got them fixed now

 

Sweet! they really look nice.

 

I bought a set from Bill a year ago and they are well worth the price, you can get the drawings on Fordification but if you look at the whole picture by the time you do all the work you will wish you had got them from Bill. The ones for my 72 worked perfect and look great

 

It may be easier and cheaper for some, but not for me, I work at a machine shop and we have a laser, water jet, and a plasma cutter along with several CNC press brakes.

I was just wondering if it would be more cost effective to have someone else make them for me instead of programming and setting up the machines.

 

In you case, where someone else supplies the drawings for free, you work where you can make them for free, Yes it is much cheaper.
Just think what your machine shop would charge if somone came in to get them made, four brackets, no drawings and all four are different, then see if $175 is out of line in price.

 

There are only 2 drawings and they are free. It's no big deal to flip the part over and bend it the opposite way for the other side.

Any machine shop with a plasma cutter and press break can make them for a lot less. Especially if they are making multiple sets . The price goes way down.

 

I'd be interested in knowing how your set will turn out. I'd also like to know of cost. And as mentioned, what would your company charge to do these?

 

Bill I would like to buy a set.

 

SHEP, here is my e-mail... wwilsonpaints @ Comcast . net < no spaces

 

Since were talking seats, what are some opinions on someone who is 6' 2" and needs lots of legroom. (bad knee). I have a 70 f100 and plan on removing tank to the rear. I was told a bench seat from a early 90's chevy would work? Any buckets better for more leg room?

Thanks
Jim

 

Think outside the box.

Bucket seats will give you more leg room and head room at the same time if you keep them low to the floor.

I'm 6'2" as well and choose to install Passat seats in my truck. $60 for both.

They are leather, power adjustable and heated.

 

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but... Area351, Care to share what year Passat those seats came from and what went into the install (maybe start a new thread)? They look great, by the way! Thanks.
