2001 Standard Cab, Want to swap out 60/40

Ellwood · 06-06-2012, 08:11 PM

Okay, I searched this sight and a few more. It was stated that the 91 Escort seat would fit using my old tracks. Not a chance. The existing ones are built like tanks. Seat belt pre tensioners the whole bit, not to mention the air bag sensor. The Escort hardware is paper thin in comparison, the rails are 16" on center and the existing ones are close to 14"

I'm just looking for some comfortable bucket seats, I drive a lot and the bench starts feeling like a wood plank after a while.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Or '93+ Ranger seats.

To be safe, use your existing seat tracks on the "new" bucket seats.

..And the 91-94 Mazda Navajo's had some nice looking seats too..

if you get some earlier seat tracks, from like the early 90's almost any ford seat will bolt to them, the 98+ seat tracks are integral with the seat frame,
