A lot of folks who want a bench seat have used the stock one or an early 90's Chevy pickup seat.
I went with buckets out of my old '90 Eldo:

I haven't gotten that far yet but I like buckets that don't go above the back window line. I like your choice RandyJ.

most folks I've talked to don't like their aforementioned xhefy seats citing comfort issues.

I'm still deciding myself.. like the bench, want more lateral support in the backs, so looking for split back bench. (like from glide engineering)
Have a set of buckets from a late model f150 that fit nice, tallish
don't mind the window blockage (I think)..

Jeff, I like the Ranger split bench seat. How does the steering wheel line up with the driver's seat?

Have you mounted seat belts yet? You may want to consider seats with integrally mounted seatbelts when you are on your search.
I also tend to agree with vintage56 on the comfort of the bow tie seats. I have an 88 that my butt and the seat have issues with eachother when forced to associate for long periods of time.
