Salvage yard seats

[kurtboyd]

I've done some searching around and haven't found anything really comprehensive about 2nd hand seat options. I run PRP suspension seats in one of my rigs and they're quite comfortable. I have always figured I'd just buy new seats for my Bronco build but lately I've been thinking going with 2nd hand seats. Something sporty but comfortable and without a huge booster. I figure if I get lucky I might not even have to reupholster them. One thing I'm concerned about is having non operable features that some newer seats might have. Another one is air bags, although I think they can be removed. Don't want any logos on the seats either.
what seats should I be looking at. Not interested in bench seats. I'm quite capable of making my own rails, adaptors, etc. Thanks!

I don't remember exactly what model year was used, but I think some member have used the seats from a Ford Ranger.

I found these on Ebay and are new third row from Dodge van. I did not have the latch from stock passenger seat to fold up but still easy to crawl over.

i'm running 2006-2009 Mustang seats, but looking to do something with the covers since they have "mustang" all over them

I've got them, and like them. Early 2000's extended cab. The passenger slides forward, and you get a console/middle seat for the front, they're a 60/40 split. Gotta make your own brackets, otherwise they are too high.

Convertible Mustang seats, maybe 90's ? None elec, used the Mustang OEM sliders after a little hammer flattening action. Yes that is tread plate decking going from one side to the other. And then down to the rocker and that gave me a flat place to mount the passenger seat AND gave me a storage area under it. Still need to make a door for it. Ford Ranger arm rest using the OEM mount bracket that mounts behind the ammo can center console.

No, they are not. There's enough wires running here and there and all over them that they could almost have been used as electric chairs in a prison.
