My truck is a weekend cruiser, and doesn't see any off road duty any more (I beat the crap out of it in the mud for years), plus I really wanted the integrated shoulder belts, so that's why I went with later model seats (and boy are they comfortable!). I also wanted something different (I have still yet to see another dentside with this type of seat in it?). The early to mid 90s seats you desire are almost a bolt in for our dentsides. The seats I used required some creative modifications to fit.

 

yea my 94 had a full bench in it when i got it ,,,,that was the first thing to go ,,,,to be honest bench seats are the only thing i dont like about trucks in general....i lucked out 2 days after i got the truck though i was at the local muffler shop and the guy had the same truck but with the 3 seater buckets with the fold down consoal,,,,i couldnt beleve he took $100 bucks for it ....not a burn or rip in it ,,,,,,i want the same type seats for the 78 i think

 

Thanks for all the info man. Leather is a bit much for me, Farm truck and all. But I got some ideas on what I might use.

I would love to have some seats like flcracker9, but black leather in my truck. Like some from a Harley edition or something. Those seats look awesome, I never get tired of seeing them.

 

Thanks. I looked around for a while, and finally found these on ebay. Cost me $545 delivered to the house (if I remember correctly?). It sounds like a lot of money, but when I priced a good pair of aftermarket buckets and added an aftermarket console, I was over $500 anyway, plus I would have had to screw around with installing seat belts to fit the buckets. I'm very happy the way it turned out. Unfortunately, it's been off the road for 10 months. I went to repair a couple of rust bubbles, which turned into an all out restoration of the body and paint.

 

mine. seat covers been on the truck since 79. I don't even know what the seat looks like.

 

here's mine. Will be starting full blown frame off resto in a month or so. If ANY ONE has a crack free JADE green dash pad, I'll pay shipping to ND please!

thanks!

sorry they so big......lazy don't wanna down size them!

just gotta order up carpet, and track down nice dash bezels. And of course pay to have the seat fixed! It's a 78 ranger explorer btw.

 

Dang stick shift and cruise control I haven't seen that befor

 

sadly, NO cruise! steering wheel out of different truck. Dad bought it in 1980 and i been driving it since 93. I have seen full cruise setups on ebay b4 complete with harness etc pulled from trucks. Am hoping to find an oem complete cruise setup someday and put ee' in!

cheers

 

 

my bench seat has a soft velvet or someone said valour its nice and really sets off the interior

there are pics in my album

 

Originaly an all red truck w red interior. A lil vinal dye fixed that. Threw all the red mouse **** and chit carpet in the garbage. All the chrome was faded off the instrument bezels. So i painted it w a silver and artist brush. The gauges are Cobalt(oil,water,volts) A Cobra 29 CB. And all the metal painted 05 GM blue

Where did you find the sill plate covers Brad?

 

LMC. They are Made in Tailand but they are polished stainless and they are cut to follow the tapered rocker. Use double sided tape to adhere
