Are Fox body Mustang seats a good candidate for a Bronco?

They have to be low profile first and foremost. If they are to high you are going to hate them, and make driving it awkward.

I went with 68 Mustang seats that use a headrest that slides right into my ''77 EB seat backs. They look like they were made to be there. The seats bolt in using the same bolt holes. The pass. seat backs fold up to the dash, just like the OE EB seats.

Another thing to consider when adding the 69 mustang headrests to your stock EB seats. On the passenger side, because of the increased height with the 69 headrest, the seat likely won’t clear the dash to tumble forward. It will still fold forward but won’t tumble for back seat access. A guy on here, BigJHoov, makes brackets that allow you to move both the passenger and driver side seats rearward but still mount in the factory seat bolt locations. (Side note: If you’re a taller person, IMO, moving the stock EB driver seat back is a must ) After I added the 69 mustang headrests to my factory EB seats, I was able to clear the dash to tumble my passenger seat when I used the most rearward position mounting holes on the brackets.

TMI has a headrest kit for first gen mustangs but it isn't cheap. I used them on a set of seats for my mustang before I had to sell the seats because my head hit the headliner with the new foam. View attachment 963704

EDIT: I also had 07-14 mustang seats on first gen seat tracks in my 70 Bronco but I don't have pictures of them in it anymore. They are currently the seats in my 66 mustang.
You should have used the one piece headliner I developed for the 65-70 Mustang, your head would have cleared 😉
