New Horse to the Stable

yesterday since the weather broke a bit I took a ride to the local junkyard... a bronco that had been there still had the seats and console in it...

got some saddle blanket seat covers ordered and still need to paint the console and source a new latch for the lid... gunna pull my vinyl floor out and add some reinforcement plates for the bronco seats as well as fix and rust that may be lurking and maybe add some extra insulation. maybe if im feeling froggy ill pick up a seat heater kit and add them to my bronco buckets

Are those bronco seats the ones with the zippered pouch in the back? All the broncos in the junkyard here had that, but they were horribly broken and rotted. Plus the passenger seat had a funky flip forward spring/hinge in all of them for it's mounting base

they have a pouch but not sure if they are zippered or not

 

[mohavewolfpup]

It would be fairly obvious if they are. The entire lower back of it had a big zippered pouch. Sounds like yours are different. No luck on google images for a photo

 

[freebird01]

i didnt look at the backs too hard....they are in decent shape and will end up against the back wall of the truck so zippers didnt really matter to me lol

If you would like plush seats down the road, look at the 80's/90's van conversions. I got two seats out of a econoline conversion that actually matched my interior color. I'll dig around and see if I have some current photos of them

no zipper on the pouch.... came out of an 89 bronco.

Interesting. All the ones I found in the junkyard's here had a big zippered pouch on them. Was bizarre, as anything would fall out if you unzipped it. Those are much better!

the seat covers i just ordered tonight are from here....

was just under $100 for the pair. they are the heavier old school saddle blanket covers... my dad had an 83 F150 when i was growing up that had one on it and ive loved them ever since.

Neat, haven't seen those in a long time. Old school for sure.

These are the seats I got and put into my truck:

they should say laz-y-boy on them lol. they look comfy. i'm just not a big fan of the velour material. it tends to stick you your clothing and not let you readjust yourself while sitting in the seat.

 

[mohavewolfpup]

It's not that bad actually. Can stand a good steam cleaning, which it will get when it warms up here. Replaced a pair that couldn't recline back. I still have to find some better seat bases for it. Heard that I may be able to have a long track system that bolts into the stock mounting points on my truck from 90's F150's and put these buckets on top. Gotta hit the junkyard up!
