66 Ranger clone

I have a 66, R red and W white, I'm looking to install a Ranger interior. What is your recommendation on who/shop can do this. I will be at Supernationals this week and will be looking. Constructive advice sought. Thanx CLT

Not sure how you were able to send me a private message but yet have your setting set to you do not want to be disturbed by email. Makes it hard to answer.

Why not just do it yourself?
It will be very very expensive just to drop it off and have someone else do all the legwork for you.

Get ahold of Kevin Stone Copperstate

https://www.copperstatecomponents.co..._seat_brackets

Then order up the color of Mustang seat covers, foam, springs or what all is needed after you find a good donor seats from a 65-66 mustang.
If you want the Ranger Inserts I have a few pair left
I also could produce the bracket for carpet over gas tank behind seats

Get a pair of hog ring pliers and a bag of hog rings and do it yourself.

Enough instructional videos online

And don't say you can't as if you can drive the truck you can install the covers/rebuild the seats

Here are some pics of a work in progress. It is a do-able DIY project with a few hours of time crawling around, and doing some research . But, if the pockets are deep; it shouldn’t be a month long process but rather 2-3 days including seat upholstery.

Don’t expect a noticeable improvement in leg and belly room (from the steering wheel). But, I’m 6-4” and 290 pounds… anyone with less height, and most people have less midriff girth than I should be fine regardless.

Fitting before paint and carpet:

Guessing that's an M - Wimbledon White. One of the funniest things in colors for these years. M is Wimbledon White whilst W is Marlin Blue. Seems like the opposite would have made more sense...
