I seats from a nissan hardbody pick up. They have a manual lumbar support. The PO did the install so I have no data on that. They are pretty comfy.

1992 Isuzu 1/2 ton pickup.
Straight bolt in, as the brackets are the same distance apart as the Bronco seats. Also will work in a half cab situation.

Heated charcoal leather seats from a saab sport wagon... very comfy.. great support.. bolt VERY low to the floor (being about 6' .. I like my headroom).. Plus picked up the heated seat switches for $5 each and wired em up.... HEATED SEATS!

Seats were $40 total @ ecology (junk yard) and install was basically drill new holes.

Probe seats

90's Ford Probe seats have a very low pan and they are supportive as well as comfortable. $35 @ local wrecking yard with seat belts.

Thanks for all the input guys. I am making a list from this post to carry with me when I go looking. I have had numerous private messages offering seats, but I want to look through the salvage yard first. Most of the seats that have been offered to me for sale are blue and that is not the color I prefer in my Bronco (Green). But, all the same, I do thank you. My dash pad and arm rests are in perfect condition and are parchment in color. My first choice is going to be something that will match them.

i still cant get any of my programs to make it a smaller pic.the original mounts were not level, so i cut them off with an air grinder and made my own mounts from 1/4" plate and 1/2" tubing. they sit about 3" lower than stock seats. ill work on getting the pic resized.

Miata seats for me too. $50 at a local boneyard. I havent measured them yet but i think they're small enough to put 2 more in the rear.

The Miata seats are very small looking, but very comfy to me.
and being able to install the speakers in the headrest is pretty cool.
they also come in tan, which might match your dash and panels.

I have seats out of a '94 Ford Probe. Hi-back buckets that recline. I think they were like $50 total from the yard. They sit low and are comfy. Install was easy too. I'll try to get a pic...

Anything that will fit in a halfcab without taking the rear window out?

Geo Metro (I'm not proud of it, but they look good, work good, and are comfortable.)
