What Seats Fit in a Bronco?

Just wondering what front seats from other cars/trucks seem to fit nicely in the classic Bronco. Obviously, I'm not trying to stay original;).

Thanks!

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

I'm hoping these will work but I don't have the mounting brackets how-to figured out quite yet.

I used a pair of Recaro's out of a Mercury Merkur in mine. They were electric, which I didn't want because they sat way to high. I found another pair out of a small Ford that had a flat floor mounting surface. I took the electric seat brackets off and adapted the sliders off the other seats to the Recaro's. The Recaro's sit about 1" off the floor on each side. Each seat was $10.00 at the junkyard, so, for $40.00 and the time to adapt the manual sliders I've got a pair of really comfortable seats.

I've got seats from a 2014 Mustang GT Premium in mine. Welded them to Corbeau Bronco seat Brackets.

Had the rest bench custom upholstered to match. Get's lots of compliments, and the seats are made to lean forward aggressively for access to the rear seat.

I like those seats, Skinwalker!

Do you have any pics showing how they lean forward on the passenger side?

I'm running XJ Sport seats out of a 01 Cherokee. Some modifying of the sliders was needed but nothing too severe. They look like they were made for EB's. ;)

I now have Ford ZX-3 seats in mine, but I have a ripped up set of Fiero seats ready for the next one. the Fiero seats are hard to find, but awesome.

Mustangs are made to fold forward, since it's a coupe. I'll post a picture tonight or tomorrow of them leaned forward.
