This isn't a will it fit question, it's more of will I be cramped if I put stock buckets out of a 95 ranger extended cab, into my 95 ranger regular cab? I know the factory buckets that were in my 94 ext. cab seemed to have a longer lower portion (where you sit) than the 60/40 seats. So I was worried if I bought a set, they stick out more toward the dash, and would they not go back as far due to them being taller, hence making cramped more than it already is... I know explorer seats would be cramped a little, I was just wondering if the actual Ranger buckets would be less cramped...

Anyone put stock ranger buckets in a regular cab?

I had buckets in a 94 B4000 reg cab I had for a while and I thought it was cramped, but I am 6'4". My right knee hit the wheel getting in and out and both knees felt like they were in the dash when I drove.

I think you'll be fine in an Supercab. It should be very similar to an Explorer. I had a lot more legroom in my 96 Supercab than my buddies 89 Regular cab. I am 6' 4" also.

Luckily I'm way shorter than you... :)

It's for my regular cab. I have Explorer seats in my extended cab. Actually I decided not to get the ranger buckets. I was at pick-n-pull today and found some nice zx2 seats. I remembered seeing a post on here where someone installed them in a regular cab, so that's what I done. The seats were like $21 + tax a piece... I just got them installed a little while ago, and I may post a separate thread tonight, or in the morning if I get tired...

Thanks for the replies! :)
