Ranger seat covers

Have early 90's Ranger bench seat in my '50 F1, but needs upholstering. It looks like the original covers come off easily. Can I buy black replacement covers directly from Ford or elsewhere? Thanks.

Ranger seat covers

you want to reupholester them? or just seat covers? if it's the 60/40 split you can get seat covers at pep boys (as I was told). Reupholstering I don't know about, sorry.

Seat covers are a stop gap fix. Get yours reupholstered or find some seats out of a wrecked (possibly newer) vehicle.

Ranger seat covers

I just bought and installed seat covers for my 2000 Ranger with 60/40 seats. Saddleman SUREFIT was the brand and you can order them from many internet sites like JC Whitney etc. however the best price I found was at http://www.buytruckstuff.com/. Click the SEAT COVERS link then near the bottom click the SUREFIT link. This is where I ordered mine from. Cost about $95.00 including s/h. They are very good quality, lined and thick. You have quite a few of fabrics to choose from. You can even get more expensive ones(ULTIMATE FIT) but I think these will suit you fine. Easy to install, just slip over backrest and web 2 stretch cords. Even has covers for the armrest. I am very pleased with mine.

Good Luck,
Jippy

Ranger seat covers

All of those seat covers even the "Saddleman" jobs will not stay put and will begin to creep and crawl after a while. Do yourself a favor and save the $100 to put it on a new seat out of a salvage yard.

p.s. I have used the Saddleman seat covers b4 and they will look like "seat covers" do for a while, -then they will start bunching and shifting. They last for a year, -or maybe two.

-My opinion.

Ranger seat covers

I've been using saddleman seat covers in 5 different pickups I had beginning in 1979(using different seat configurations, buckets, bench, split). I never had them ride up or move. I don't know why yours did. I have a set installed in my 1984 S-10 that are over 15 years old and they are still in place, no problems. Thats been my experience with them. Thats why I bought another set for my 2000 Ranger. The person who inquired will have to make his own decision. I am very pleased with their quality and performance.
