2003 Ford Ranger seats in a '90 F-150 **with pics
So I was not happy with the factory bench seat because the back rest was bent, it was broken down and had some tears. I was on the search for some bucket seats of that era and failed to find any that were decent. Giving up on that idea I decided to just go for broke and try out some random seats. Went to the junkyard and got some really nice and clean bucket seats from a 2003 Ford Ranger. I also grabbed a center console from a '89 Bronco because i knew it would fit perfectly. Here is the process and before after photos. Sorry the photos are not really in order, I'm sure you all can figure out how I did it.... the fourth photo is bending the front tabs of the frame to fit my floor, that is THE ONLY MOD necessary for the installation excluding holes. you must drill 8 new holes to accommodate the seats.

Great job. I also have thought about swapin seats. Mine has some tears in it an lost some foam. Seat cover hides it but newer seats would be nice. An those old bronco center counsels are huge. Would be nice to gain more storage space.

Yes, I have full adjustment and they fold down to access the back. You have to get the buckle part of the seatbelt to relive the old ones because the clicker pay is not into the seats
