Bucket Seats

[kena]

What year, make and model bucket seats will fit a 1990 Ranger Extended Cab? I would like everything to just bolt-up without modification. I have searched the threads and a definitive list does not exist.

go look in the tech library.

it needs to be updated but here you go.

Just a quick bit of info on those seats.

They all have the correct holes to mount up to your Ranger seat tracks, but the holes will likely not be threaded.

The factory bolts used to mount the Ranger seats are thread cutting.

Just spray the bolt with lube and tighten them into the needed hole. They'll cut their own threads and you're good to go.

I used PB Blaster on the bolts when I mounted my seats.

I cut threads by hand with a tap, because you need the arms of King Kong to force those bolts to cold form threads

the factory screws are NOT "thread cutting" screws but thread forming screws...
they use a monster power driver (NOT an "impact gun") to run them in.

As an additional note there is another even nicer seat NOT on the list.
Explorer Sport seats from a 1990-93 Explorer sport.

these are NON power seats, power lumbar, adjustable thigh support,
POWER adjustable side bolsters, and the "thin" backrest like other
Gen2 Ranger highback seats, so they don't create a clearance issue
in standard cabs.

What's in my '87 Ranger Supercab?

You guessed it, the Explorer sport seats.


BTW, if you have an '89-92 STX you probably already have these seats.

My bolts threaded right in with just a ratchet

I think I had to tap 3 holes on each seat (TurboCoupe seats)

Does this apply to all Ford Seats, i.e. '03 Ranger with 60/40 Bench ?

I put 03+ Ranger 60/40 seats in my 95 60/40 truck (ext. cab). drop in perfect fit. I had to move the female ends of my seatbelts to the new seat...but nothing else had to change.
