aight i am wondering if anyone here knows if they make a center console that will fit a 2000 ford ranger XLT cab n a half (with 2 bucket seats of coarse).... that can act as a middle seat, and fold down into an armrest that still lets you reach into the back cab? My center console broke + i have a pretty beefy sound system where the back seats used to be... and i dont like the standard center consoles.. so im not sure if they make something like that, or if i should try and fabricate one myself (it doesnt seem like it would be tooo hard to do).

 

so a 40/20/40?

 

yes, im not sure of the technical names lol, but that sounds right, id like to be able to fit 2 normal sized people and a midget in my front cab if at all possible

 

I dont think they make anything like that for bucket seats in a ranger, just the bench 60/40

 

sounds like you wanna do a 40/20/20 swap.

40/20/40 is roughly the same as a 60/40. except on those seats, the middle one is shorter both ways, where most full size 60/40s are full seats all the way across.

 

they have those in the taurus. My friend has like a 2003 taurus with one in it. you could check some junkyards and see if you could make it work.

 

hmm, yea i might check a few junk yards out, but anyone know if there is a website or something with one i could look at?

 

Seat swap......go to the split bench 60/40 from a ranger. It has a small centerconsole that folds down and folds up and allows you to still use it as a seat. And you can reach in the back of the truck if you need to while it's folded down.

somebody post pics...I aint got any of my stock seats.

 

 

YES!!!!! that is pretty much exactly what i am looking for

but do they make one that isnt connected to one of the seats?

 

Here is the old old style where the console folds up into the seat

 

yupyup. Thanks for posting those Myke.


Any 98+ 60/40 will fit your truck. There's probably a member near you that's willing to trade seats...you are doing the opposite of what people normally do...they swap buckets in. lol.

 

do the 60/40 setups have a center seatbelt?

 

well this is pretty much what im looking for,
PERFERABLY id like to find just a center piece and not have to replace the seats already in my truck,
something like a three piece set?




lol well i wana be able to fit more people since my back seats are gone, and my center console is shooooot!

 

well that is attached to the seat. So you would have to atleast have to replace the driver seat.

 

I think this is more of what you want.

 

pretty much that, yea

 

Yes. On a factory bucket truck, there's rubber plugs in the floor that go into the seat belt bolt holes.

You MUST replace at least the drivers seat....the seats are completely different. Where is your passenger gonna sit? On a milk crate on the floor? The console and center seat are built into the driver seat. Check the boneyards out for seats just like yours that you have now....they have them in 60/40 form. I suggest updating both seats.

 

Too bad that's definately not Ranger and will definately probably wont even fit in the 7" gap between the two buckets...

 

Whats is that out of?

Looks cool

 

that is out of a GM, GM has a lot of 40/20/40.

here is a sight that sells them:
Truck Seats Custom Chevy Ford Dodge GMC Truck Seats C5

But yeah, like said above, our seats are too close. Thats why I suggested the ford Taurus setup. I cant find a pic, but I know my friends Taurus has a sweet center console that folds up into a seat.

 

Full size GM pickup, 99+


*Damn...he beat me to it. I was right though....I must have a sickness. lol.

 

Would be cool if something like this would work

FORD LIGHTNING SEATS

 

These would rock also if they were just bucket seats

 

i kinda just feel like taking a saws all to that little center piece and rig it up to make it look pretty... but idk i might just get the whole 40/60 setup if i save enough money in the next few mounths
