Can anyone tell me what seats will fit in my Ranger?
hahaha, Okay now seriously, here is the real post:
I recently picked up a cherry of Ranger last week. The thing needs some attention. First of all I need a dang cup holder. Rollin' through DC without one sucks. So I found two forums to read up on seat swapping. Tons of people ask "What seats fit in my truck?". You get the same basic response "You can put up to a *** into a *** as long as it is ***". So I decided to hit up Crazy Rays today. He has crazy low prices for a pick and pull. I call up a buddy, Lets call him Sam. I tell him, lets go look for a Ford Exploder so I can grab some seats, he say fo sho son. So we get to the junk yard and he starts talking trash like "if you are going to do a swap, why not go all the way?". So we start looking in other vehicles for some seats. I found a decent 4runner with clean buckets. I love those seats. I had a 4runner for a number of years. Then I found a Samurai. Those seats were cherry!!! I wanted them. But years without a top rusted the bolts up real nice. So I went to my 3rd choice. A second gen Pontiac Fiero. The two seats were fairly clean. Just one small tear. So we yank them out and head home. I need to go back for center console still. But it was over 95 degrees out today and I was getting tired. Turns out that the seat rails were spaced out less than a quarter inch different between my bench seat and the new seats. So we took my rails and put them on the new seats. We just had open up the holes on the rails just a little for them to fit. They sit almost at the same height. And they still slide around like the old bench. I will ahve plenty of room for the console when I get it. Okay enough of the wordy wordy wordy
Here are some basic pictures.
Here is the new and the old
A nice easy fit
The totally awesome Fiero logo
I would not call this a "bolt in" direct swap. But it is not a "fab heavy" swap either. The day started at me leaving the house at 9am and being done just after 5pm. That included me driving 90 minutes to a junk yard, going to Tractor Supply to get a new tool bag, and getting lunch. I think I dropped under $100 bucks between getting food for two people for most of the day, the tool bag, and the seats. All in all it was a good day.
WORD
*edit*
Oh yea, I forgot to mention, I think this will add between 6.1 and 6.4 BHP
