There is a clock from the factory that fits in the same location as your 4x4 button panel. It came on the 2WD trucks. prolly impossible to locate one working tho. Cool place for switches or some sort of a gauge. Maybe a GPS fitted in there would be cool...

I pulled seats from a Mazdz Navaho, rebadged Sport, for my 87 BII cause I had never seen black seats in an Explorer and liked their look. I too had read you had to swap the frames. I noticed they looked the same though and slapped the pass seat in and it lined up perfect. So I put the driver side in too and same thing. Well I has happy and then decided if those fit would the rear heating duct that fits between the pass seat and trannel tunnel fit too, sure does and now both my BIIs have the heating duct to supply the rear seats with heated air and center consoles. Mine were from a 92 Navaho and were not marked like your s but were exactly the same as the BII frames.

Yeah it's nice to know that I can swap explorer seats into my BII really easy, but we had a terrible time getting those expo seats to work on my dads ranger. To make them work, we needed the tracks from his factory seats, and to get them, you have to grind off and punch out 6 rivets per track, a total of 24 rivets. There was at least an hour of rivet removal for the whole job, and I totally used up a 1/4" grinding wheel. Once that was done though, the rest was easy.

I'm wondering how hard would it be to mount up the overhead console.

The clock for the overhead map lights are still available from Ford. There are a few dealers that still have NOS clocks in their inventory.
