Windstar Seats?

[rockin86ranger]

I'm wonderin if it would be possible to fit windstar seats in my 86 rag. cab ranger. I can get a set for pretty cheap but was wonderin if they'll work they look to big don't have measurement access.

thanks

p.s I'm a li'l over 6ft and want somethin more comfortable than the bench

Van seats sit up kind of high sometimes ... seeing that you're over 6', I'd look elsewhere unless you have a sunroof to poke your head out of

 

[rockin86ranger]

yeah thats what i was afraid of what about the explorer seats do they sit high? would they be comfortable for someone over 6'

 

[rockin86ranger]

Anybody over 6' with explorer seats? if so how do ya fit

 

[ejholmgren]

Reg cab is a little cramped regardless for most people over 6' though, I would think. The explorer buckets sit about as high as the ranger 60/40's. They should be fine with the seat all the way back in the track.

 

[rockin86ranger]

what do ya'll think about some loww-back seats like the ones in the old vw's and sports cars?

 

[ejholmgren]

would probably work fine if you're up to welding your own seat to bracket adapters

im about 6ft6 and i had acouple seats that came out of mail trucks. i had them just sittin in there one day and they were comfortable.

 

[rockin86ranger]

sweet so did you put them in or just tryin 'em out.
what are ya runnin now?

thanks

 

[poweranger84]

i was just tryin them out. i put the bench back in. i didnt have a drill, so i couldnt mount them, i ended up puttin them in the bed for when we went muddin

 

[rockin86ranger]

thats sweet i was gonna put seats in the back of mine for prom and pissin' off cops. i'm glad it's legal to ride in the back of trucks here.

 

[poweranger84]

yea its legal here too, just as long as they arnt hangin off the side.

 

[rockin86ranger]

yea thank god for rednecks in politics. i think the next u.s president needs to be a redneck they don't b.s around and who knows moonshine might be legal then. lol

[rockin86ranger]
