Default Seat exchange from Reg cab to Extended Cab ??

I think the answer is yes its a bolt in no problem exchange but I just want to make sure.

Can I take seats out of a regular cab 2006 ranger and bolt them in to my 97 Extended cab? Does the reg cab vs the extended cab make a difference?? The junk yard has a set and I'd like to pick them up but I need to know if they are bolt in or not. Any one done this?

extended cab trucks have longer tracks. You would have to swap tracks over from your seats, They unbolt from yours 123 but the newer ones are a little more involved

Are the newer tracks riveted to the seats or something like that? I'm just trying to see if this can be done without having to weld or anything like that.

Also Do you know if the bolt pattern on the floor is the same? Floor pan wise?

I'm not 100% sure on that. I do know you can only get tracks with the frame assembly

Sounds like I should just wait until they get a good extended cab in. I can do most things but I don't have the tools or the ability of a master fabricator. Thanks

Mike,

That is almost the same question I was going to ask and one of the reasons I just joined. Mine is a reg cab 04 manual, the seats are bolted to the tracks. I really couldn't see y ford made a different seat for an extended cab, it just had to be a track difference. So I am in the hunt for seats also and best I can tell is that I can go up to at least an 06. So for now I will just included my question with this post.
