Slick 60's

anyone out there got decent bucket seats in their truck? preferably the 65-66 floor pan type
I want to put buckets in my truck - had picked up a set of GM style with the integral shoulder harnesses but way too tall to work

Open to just about any suggestions as this is holding me up to get truck back on the road

if you did a successful install - do you have pics of the rails and mounts

thanks

i have the early mustang style with the factory brackets.

Get a hold of Bill and get his Ranger brackets for Mustang seats. Speedway Motors sells a knockoff of the Mustang seat. I just put Bill's brackets on the other lo-back Speedway sells and there is some fab work to make them fit. Not huge but it isn't a simple bolt it deal. The Mustang style seat should be better than what I used. Here's a link to Speedway's Mustang seat

This is my '66 with the Mustang style seats on the Ranger brackets


This is my '62 with the Scat lo-back seats from Speedway on Bill's Ranger brackets.

Hey, LM14, is that the '65 Palomino color on your seats? I'm also curious about your underdash AC. Where can I see more pics of it?

Sorry for the diversion, Turtle!

Don't know what color they are. Were in it when we traded trucks.

Those are good looking seats. I wonder how they fit and blend in with a oem Mustang interior.

I have seen many threads on the Mustang boards about seats, but no mention of these.

anybody else?
I was looking for something newer - headrest style, and possible with integral seat harnesses

nice seats though and thanks for the response

65/66 T-Bird seat will fit , I think all the newer seat every body has tried either sit too high or too close to the wheel

I snagged a set out of a 88 Mustang Conv. for $40 on CL...I'll have to fab a bracket but they fit pretty dang well...have headrest and shoulder belt loop (but I plan on removing both when I recover them)...they are just sitting in there in the pic...not installed obviously, so the outside is sitting lower since they aren't on the correct bracket

YAY for being 5'2!!! Now, only to jack up the brackets so I can see over the steering wheel

guess i may have to stick with my 91 Ranger F150 XLT bench seat... which is interesting that it fits ok, even when the truck had a tank and it has huge headrests

keep em coming - someoen has done this lots of times if one pays attention to how many trucks show up in pics with buckets, and appear to fit well

how do I go about getting ahold of bill for a set of the ranger brackets?

OK, same difference (sort of).
The 91 cab is VERY similar as in nearly identical to a 92-96 - those trucks could be had with bucket seats and even had a center "jump seat" or console option.
Not sure about the back window clearance I mentioned but close enough to check out, BTW, there were also buckets with a headrest in full size Broncos.
If your 91 seat works these should be at least close.
You still might wanna take a look at a Ranger, Bronco II, Explorer seat - they are common, pretty comfortable and may work.

Thanks Greg D, i just ordered another 5 sets of brackets today... along with that they are making me the console brackets and gas tank cover brackets.

I made a bracket that mounts to the stock bench seat location.
