Anyone seen any F150s with bucket seats from a Ranger in it? Have sat in their buckets on a friends truck and they were pretty comfortable...

I'm also getting one of these for it, you guys might be interested for your truck, its awesome (every seat offered for the F150 has real leather, fake leather or cloth custom molded seat covers that fit like stock and dont have wrinkles or creases!):

Just the plain old bench, nothing else. No headrests, armrests, nothing.

I have '91 XLT Lariat with the bench seat and I love it, you can slide it from the drivers seat but the backrest only has one setting, the area behind the arm rest does have a padded panel behind that matches the rest of the seat. In my opinion get one man, I love the bench seat

I took my Lariat seat out of my 90 F150 and replaced it with a set of Buckets and the center console from the same year, same color Bronco. Everything fit perfectly, only had to drill the two holes on each side for the inner tracks that the bench didn't have. It was clean, easy and gave me the buckets with high backs, and a console. Makes it like a new truck. A total different comfort level than the bench seat. My garage pic shows how the Lariat seat sat up like a mini headrest.

You asked about Ranger seats. They are totally off on the bracketry on the bottom. Too much modification to make it an easy install. Going with the Bronco was the perfect fit for my 90 F150.

I've thought about bronco buckets and console, but then realized I have more important stuff to attend to first... But I gotta go to a junkyard anyways soon, can't hurt to check prices!

I like my bench though, don't get me wrong. It's worn out just enough that it's like a couch to sit on and with the fold out armrest, it's just amazing. Only complaints are the lack of lumbar support, but that only matters now that the back is at a slightly different angle than before because I put a sub back there.

Oh yeah, seat back is not adjustable unless you put something behind it to reduce travel.
