Can someone tell me what the number for "X" should be?

"X" for my Miata seats is about 8 inches. But the better measurement is where your butt sits at the lowest part of the seat just below the seat back. Again, for my Miata seats, it's about 3 inches from the floor. These are a good height for me at 5'10".

I used pt cruiser cruiser seats. Brown leather. And seats warmers. Bonus for the wife. The passenger side folds down so the grand kid can climb over and also acts as a table.

Hey Scoop, how did you mount the miata seats? There's a decent pair near me for $150 and I'm thinking I'll grab them if it makes sense to mount them. Thanks!

Power, heated, leather seats from a Mercedes E-class. Even the headrests are motorized. I removed the front-rear power seat tracks to lower the seats about 1.75 inches.

Grandson for scale.

There are a lot of seats that will work in a Bronco.

What to look for are seats with a low base height so you don't end up staring at the top of the windshield frame.
Avoid power seats, the motor is in the base so they will always be taller than a non-power seat.

Fox body Mustang seats, BMW seats, Miata seats.......

Happy junkyarding. ;D
The mustang after the fox body should work. My buddy bought a couple pair the other day. They sit on low feet and look to be easily adaptable.

Where does headrest stow? Can you post a picture from the back, with head rest extended?
The headrest flips forward with some force as soon as u pull the side lever. It tucks its self in between the back cushion and the seat foam. It's really quite clever. I work on a few more pics.

jumping in here- i assume the seats are in a fixed position and don't slide forward/back?
You know that's a good question. Yes, they have sliders with quite a bit of forward and backward adjustment. They have the typical metal hoop under the front of
the seats.

These are adjustable and a quick guess is a 45 Degree tilt back.
