for the tracks you cna get them from any 67-79 truck. and probably the earlier trucks too. 61-66. and then you can use any seat you want with those tracks. or if you find a complete seat from any of those trucks with those tracks you cna use the whole seat.

to put in any seat you want. all you have to do is drill holes where the seat will set at.

Do you have any local salvage yards you can check? I've seen several out here in Colorado and they go for about $30. Unfortunately, the shipping is a fortune so not really viable to have one shipped, but check your area junkyards. Good luck!

I've got a nice set of seat tracks.

PM me if you're interested.

I would be interested, but first, Will a 1978 Ford F150 seat fit in my truck because if so, then all I will have to do is get a reupholstery kit for it and make it a Ranger seat. Thanks in advance.

yes it will fit. you may have to get a reupolster fkit fo ra 78 rnager though. i think those seats may have a different back on them. i could be wrogn abou that. only because of the 79 uhaul seat back i found one time. it looked more like a 80's seat back to me. and maybe it had been changed by uhaul at one time. get a picture of it. it the back is hollow. then your fine. if it is solid foam then its like the 80's and up seats.

Seat frames and foam are different. Don't know if covers would interchange, but would highly doubt it.
