Yes I have read the tech article on swapping seats. I have found no Mustangs with seats still in them (big shocker), and Tempo/Excort GTs are very few and far between on the street let alone in yards. Even the blah ones are pretty thin. I have never even seen a Murker and with the pillow headrests I doubt a t-bird would fit.
The Ranger seats I have found are shot, the Explorer ones are the same or badly cracked leather.
I have found Probe seats and they look neater than heck, but somewhere around page 12 I found the seat pivot is made into the seat track... so they are out. I would like something I can adapt on to Ranger seat tracks.
What other cars have people tried? I used to have a '90 Plymouth Laser (same as 90-94 Eclipse/Talon) The seats were pretty narrow and thin as I remember, but comfy and supportive.
85 standard cab so space behind the seat is at a premium.
