Seat options for my 2000 Ranger
My Ranger needs new seats. Every time I think I have come up with an affordable option it crashes and burns. I have a nice set of bucket seats out of a 96 Eddie Bauer F150 that I completely disassembled, cleaned, repaired and reassembled. I really want to use them because the match the interior perfectly, and I already have them. But the damn seat sliders are the issue. I have tried several different sliders from other Fords and nothing works with my floor board and those seats. I am just looking for some ideas here.

Instead of cutting and pasting try a piece of steel bar the length needed.
Drill the hole for the Ranger Mounting to the floor and then drill some holes for the F-150 Tracks.
You may need to straighten the F-150 Track to make mounting easier but not sure.
the width of the bar or flat stock can be as wide as need to meet up with the F-150 mounting.
Just thinking aloud here, I do not know the F150 mounting so take what I say as talking over a problem.

Yesterday I went ahaead and tore the slider of the Ranger seats down. I did not realize all the brackets I thought I had to cut off were riveted on. I drilled out the rivets and was left with flat sliders. I just had to drill one hole on each slider and tap an existing hole on the seat frame. Now the fit and work great.
