1998 rangers seats do fit in a 1989 ranger........ With modification
AS some know I got seats from fullthrotle00. They dont fit in the 1989 ranger at all mounting holes off and no way to just drill new ones.
So only solution to the problem was to get some 89-94 seat tracks and mount them to the seats. well cant find no seats cheap enough to do that plus seat tracks in my 89 are tore up.
So I decided to drill out the rivets connecting the mounting part to the slide part and then weld the 89's mount to the sliding part on the 98 seats
Gonna work out very well Im stoked now


1998's slide already took it's mount off

1989's mounting plate held up onto 1998's seat slide

I think the wife will be glad also they have been sitting in the garage since Saturday night I refuse to move them HAHAHAHA
Last night I was sitting in the one and my boy was in the other as she pulled into the garage

They will not be like that for long.
Ya got hit with a little. I actually pulled over after I got onto I-55 and just rolled the cover up cause it was hard to see out the back window. I was driving just west of St. Louis and sun was out couple white clouds and BAM down pour for about 3/4 of a mile
No seat covers getting redone

Plus the seat tracks wont switch over cause they wont line up either
They were beyond repair
Cant tell in the picture but wen you sat down the driver seat by the door folded down and you almost fell out. the springs were all sprung out

I got the idea to drill out the rivets and do it this way from a hotrod forum
