60/40 conversion questions....
so ive got a std. cab with those annoying 60/40 seats in it and i wanna convert em to bucket seats but i dont wanna have to buy them. Can i just remove the fabric on the driver side seat and cut out the extra foam (in the center where a center console would go) and re-stich the rest of the fabric under the seat? thats the only thing i oculd come up with lol. any advice?

BTW off topic here but how does your truck drive on the 31 does it act sluggish on take off ? im curious cause its the same specs as mine and I want to lift mine on 31s later in the year .

If you have the armrest its easier to do. . . all you really do is follow the how-to thread, but i have the seat that has the xtra part even on the backrest, i can cut it out but i dont know how hard it would be to reupholster the seat it wouldnt be as easy cuz it would have a piece folded over on the drivers side and the passenger wouldnt. i guess i could always just add seat covers tho lol. Let me know how that turns out for you tho im still debating whether or not to do it.

Guys....he's has an XL ranger....with the flat, board-like vinyl 60/40. There is no armrest, and the seat literally looks like a bench. Know how "all" ranger 60/40's look like buckets? well...his....aren't. There's actual padding and vinyl between the two "backrests", rather than nothing there and a console.
I have never seen the 60/40 to 40/40 mod done to those seats. I bought my brother '02 EDGE cloth 60/40 for his regualar cab 01 at the junkyard. $75.
Best pic i found so far of the original poster's seats....

Whoever told you that.....is completely wrong. Doing the 60/40 mod is taking out that 20 that's useless. The mounting points are still there in their factory location...infact you don't even touch them doing the mod.

i realize that but thats not gonna stop me from doing it if Lance is up for it! I have done the 60/40 conversion before on my old seats so a little extra cutting is all thats required for these ones.

but see the problem lies where the stickshift falls when you have that other passenger in there. I had this problem many times when i would have more than one person as a passenger. And his truck is already short on room so this was a awesome fix.
