thinking of putting buckets in

[48prerunner]

I know 60s mustangs buckets were an option and I have a bunch of them laying around. I also have buckets out of an 87 sxt ranger same as mustangs and t birds form 80s-90s I know the later seats are much more comfortable. TMI makes sport seat conversions for both. I'm leaning towards the later seats cause I plan on driving like 80 miles a day.


66 sport II


68 sport R

86 mach 1 style

what do you think?

[papabug71]

I would have to go with the first seats. The 66 Sport II's. They look pretty close to the factory buckets for our trucks.

but I just like the low back original buckets. They're not the most comfortable in the world though.

You should install the 66 seats and send me the 86 seats

Problem with the 66 seats is they flip forward when ever you stop quick, think somebody makes a safety latch for them. Might install seat heaters at same time. Thanks for the input.

[basshound71]

Ok, install the 68. Just send me the 86

some taller buckets will hit the back of the cab or the rear window unless you remove the headrest..or even then,the supra buckets i ran for a summer way back when hit no matter what i did (unless i sat crammed right into the steering wheel ) and the nasty red velour highbacks (complete with non functional 6 way power adjustments )in a parts truck i had were even worse

They look great Have only seen one with those in person . I really like the red with the white truck. About how much room between the seats? My 87 seats are red problem is truck is green so too much like Christmas. One reason to recover.

Other is to switch up to the Mach 1 style . I think with the lowered stance of my truck and the 5.0 coyote up front I can pull off the more modern seats. My seats are the low back so just have to worry about putting my head through the back window not the seat.

I also have the bench seat out of a 68 mustang.

TMI makes "sport seat" kits consisting of thicker foam, bolsters and matching upholstery. Vintage look, modern feel.

Early OEM seats feel like an upholstered park bench. I drove my 65 'Stang from PA to CA and my azz was still sore three days after arriving. ..

Yup the pics in first post are from TMI talked with them at Carlisle. Distinctive Industries Also makes them for the 65-66. Haven't seen them in person though.
