53 Seat replacement
The original seat for my 53 is shot. Does anyone know of any modern bench seats that will fit?
I'd like to add seatbelts also, but don't know how to add them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I ran an early 90's Ranger 60/40 seat. It was a real nice fit. I had to add a couple of tabs to mount them with and drill a couple of additional holes but they worked great. I chose to replace them with leather power buckets though.

Hey snipa, where are you located? Maybe somebody will help you out and buy your old seat. 
Ditto on the Ranger 60/40 seat. And you should find an abundent supply in the junk yards. JOHN

I used a Ranger seat also....think it was like an early 80's version...60/40 split and it looks good..if you want seatbelts...i recommend getting a modern seat with the belts already made into the seat...saves a lot of money....
