I put Jeep Cherokee seats in mine, they are full electric/ no heat bit of a waste I think looking back on it now, I had to take the drivers head rest off so I could get some more leg room also!

i would think these would work from a bronco 2 and i think they look like they fit the slick interior .

im not a fan of high buckets, headrests, or anything with leash attachments.

I went the mustang seat option and brackets on slick #1 (I got mine from slick collector before BillW was making them)
TMI were pretty good, mine were one off colours that I chose to match the other parts of the interior. Thats a good plus for TMI as they will pretty much make any colour combo you want.
I went the headrest and sport seat option, the headrest DOES tilt forward quite a bit, but it still rested on the back window a little.
Slick collectors brackets fit like a glove as I beleive Bill's do as well.

Major downside with this is the cost, seat trim headrest, secondhand seats and brackets can add up quickly. But I was pretty happy with the results!

as suggested - I decided to go with the seats from a 96 F150 as the bench thats in it was 90s F150 as well and fit ok
got the complete set including the centre jump seat, in grey to match my exisitng interior for $150
so only mods i can see will be to drill the inner four holes for the seat tracks
I will post pics once I get done

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 picked up the rest of the parts and pieces i needed to complete my ranger package today... i left the front console bracket flat so it can be used with the low or high hump trucks, (since i have both) also the correct fender washers for under the cab for the seat brackets. 11 gauge and 1/8 inch plate, laser cut and bent by the same outfit that does the brackets

ok so this is the seat set from a 96 F150

intersting setup - both buckets and the centre console share a common rail system that bolts directly where the bench seat did
zero changes
and what I like best - the headrests fit, the power lumbar, and the seats fit my body like they were designed for me

and they are grey so I dont even have to reupholster them

That should be a good choice for a seat. The back of the seat is thin enough that it won't push you too far forward in the truck. The headrest should be easy to take off if it hits the back window. It should be easy to mount being that it is all on one mount. I have considered taking the 2001 F150 seat out of my truck and putting that seat in it's place.
I sit in that same seat everyday in my work truck and I like it.
