Russiankid's Ranger build

Little update. I went ahead and did a bucket seat swap, but to my surprise it wasn't as easy as everyone says it is. I got seats out of a 91' Escort, I grabbed brackets out of a 90' reg. cab Ranger that had a 60/40 bench seat. I ran into a problem with the the 60/40 brackets making the seat sit way to high, to the point where I could not even get into the truck. Then, the Escort seat is wider than the mounting holes on my floor board. So I ended up taking the left side rail off my bench seat, then using the 60/40 inner rail and cutting off the front mounting tab and making my own. Then I got square tubing, ran it across the underside of the seat, so now the square tubing can mount onto the rails in whatever position I want them to.
And finally, I had to raise the rear outer rail up to be level with the inner one, otherwise the seat was cockeyed.

Did my cab mounts this week. I ended up putting polyurethane bushings in instead, and the difference is very noticeable. No more rattling, no more odd noises, etc.
I also had to replace my rear left cab bracket as there was nothing left of it.
Body lift? nah, I am good, don't like how it look with it.
