Want to Buy: Driver side seat

davidjsouth · #1 12-22-2009, 10:11 AM

I have a 1992 Ranger and my back broke on my seat. Right now I have it propped up with a wooden stick and piece of ply wood behind it to hold me up while I drive.

I'm really looking to just replace the whole and don't care to spend too much. I just haven't had time to go scour around the couple junk yards in the area.

I'll drive a little ways if some one has one for sale.

Is it that little peice in the back or the full stretch around the seat.?

I have no idea. I haven't taken the thing apart. All I know is the lever to raise or the lower the back doesn't catch, and I have issues with the track to pull the seat forward. Like it's bent or something so it won't come forward. I figured if i found the whole thing I could always change out the upholstery.

Well if the price is right and since you're close to Allentown, we'll see what works out.

this seat wouldnt work, its a 2 peice bench seat I thought you just needed a small peice. the track is broken too.

If I had an extra $1500 I'd buy an exact duplicate of a Ford Ranger like mine real close to me. Then I'd have all the pieces I need.

Okay. I will have to get to the junk yards here one of thes days, but in the mean time. if any of you with in a 2 hour radius of York see a seat similar to this one, let me know.

Hell, tear that shit apart. It's already broke you ain't gonna make it any worse. Maybe you can stick a bolt in it and lock it down.

Yeah my dad mentioned maybe taking it to a welding shop and having them weld it up into place where I want it. I know a couple welders from church I might give them a call.

This is unbelievable. At least I think so. I left for work early (I work 2nd shift) to swing by a junk yard I know of sort of on the way. I asked the lady if they had and Ranger/Broncos on their lot. She said it seemed a lot of people have wanted parts for Ranger's lately. She told me where to find them with the other Fords. I looked around but wasn't having much luck.
So I walked over to where they keep the vans to maybe look at front bumper covers for my van. Didn't see any worth while. So as I was getting ready to walk back up, I turned around and in the next section over I see what I think is a Bronco/Explorer. I thought, well it's seats are probably gone too.
Low and behold, the whole interior was still intact. Some some exterior parts was missing. I couldn't believe it. It was either $25 for the whole seat if I pulled it or $35 if they pulled it. I paid the 35 and let them do it in the cold. I pick it up tomorrow on the way to work. It's still in decent shape. So guess what I'll be doing this weekend. I'm so excited.

Outstanding! I'm glad it worked out for you.
