Early Bronco middle seat

[myclsic69]

Looking for information on the front middle (Jump) seat that was optional for the early Bronco?
Thanks

What information are you seeking? Aftermarket part by Stroppe. Fit between the two buckets. Installed by drilling three holes in the floor and bolting in. Not much else to them.

Stroppes were pleated white vinyl. Back in the day i got my black vinyl one from Jc Whitney. I believe Vic Hickey was the production manufacturer.

These folks found them to be real comfortable.

It was made in limited quantities since it was only offered by small aftermarket manufacturers.

Stroppe and Hickey offered it roughly from 71/72-75.

Yes it is. Had it recovered a few years back. Real junk when i bought it. Sandblasted it, welded up a few repair areas and painted it. Lucky enough to have the "hockey" stick trim no the sides which from all my research was a Bronco specific part...

I think it came out nice and LOVE it......

Jump seat from a wagoneer looks like it and folds down for armrest, you'd have to recover, as the heeps never came in anything but camel puke interior in that era but you can pay for the upholstery and then some compared to what a real stroppe setup would cost. If you're just looking for a middle that would look good without being original bronco?

hickey made this one I believe

A year or so ago I saw a guy on eBay making and selling reproductions in a couple of colors.

I bought my black colored seat in 1978 so my girl friend could snuggle. Those were the days.

Runck and Con-Fer were two other companies that made them for many years.
I think Con-Fer finally dropped them from their catalog in the mid-nineties, and Runck was probably gone from the backs of magazines by then already.
Might have still been around, but did not see their ads any longer.

Even Kayline and Bestop made middle seats for awhile I think. Not sure though.
Were they ever offered as a dealer-installed option by Ford in their accessory listings?
I don't remember ever seeing one from Ford literature, but I'm not that familiar with all the years of available accessories.

Hi All, I realize this is an old post, but I am new to the forum and I was hoping that someone could either point me to a place where I can buy a middle seat (which seems hard to do), or provide me with dimensions to the middle seat so I can have one fabricated? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
