I recently acquired a my dream vehicle: a 1978 Bronco. While the body is in very good shape for a 22 year old vehicle, the interior needs some serious work, with the seats being the first order of business. My question is: Does anyone know what seats will fit nicely into a 78, with the least modifications. I am looking for anything with a high back. Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone may be able to provide.

yo dude!
check your explorer.....is t a 2 door?...then it will fit.....with a base plate addition..
and Aerostar seats will work too.this is a post in another bronco bb from a pal:"...Use a piece of 3/16" thick plate to adapt the different seat mounting patterns between the original '78 seat base and the pattern of the newer van captain chairs, and u can keep both the original adjustment slides for the stock '78 seats (which are on the base) and the new seats (which are on the seat base above the mount). this was done after a lengthy search for replacement captain's chairs, or aftermarket seats"....
get em for under 100 each at a local yard...or if you have the $'s.....there are a few www sites for new seats.....good luck, Al

 

LMC Truck has a lot of parts for Broncos. You can order a catalog at http://www.lmctruck.com if you like. In their current 2000 Spring Bronco catalog, they don't have seats for the 78-79, but they have a ton of other parts... body panels, carpet kits, weatherstripping, seals, etc...
