bucket seats

I read about some of the 65-66 F100s coming with bucket seats from the factory. Is this factual? If so, what did they look like and does anyone have a pic of them? Were they similar to the Mustang/Bronco buckets? Is it very easy to install these seats into a 66? Just wondering...

Yeah, it was the "Ranger" package. Had buckets and a console. I don't remember what else beside that and some emblems it consisted of. The seats looked just like Mustang buckets, but I'm sure they had special brackets under em. You always see a few of these at the F-100 Nats.

Sharp setup, if you can find it.
Good luck,

I have a '65 Mustang That I replaced the original buckets with ones from a '90 GT, and then used the '65 seats in my '64 F100. They look great! Did have to make some new brackets though.

Thumbs up Seat Tracks are the Key to seat swaps!

They use tracks [mounting - brackets] from "square" Broncos, whatever they were 66-75? or something lke that. . . . The F100 seats were not "Pony" pony seats, they were standard pony seats. . . . .No horses stampeding, just simulated rolls & pleat.

For as close to OEM upholstery as possible source of supply, go to Mustangs Unlimited eitner in Atlanta, GA or Connecticut, THey are on line, FBp
