Welcome aboard !
Sorry for your loss !
Seats for a Ranger, there are brand new seats out there but they are not cheap and they are not look alike !
My suggestion is to find a set of frames that are in good condition, take them to an Auto Seat Cover Maker, have them redo the cushions and covers to match what you are doing with the interior.
There was someone we used for just the Seat Covers on the other RF Site, Terry something, they made the best seat covers with OEM Material !
I have a set of his Covers, designed around the FX4 Level II Buckets, and they are done well, the material is good too, only problem is that these things cost money.
I had a 60/40 Seat in my '03 EDGE, standard cab, sold them, tried the Explorer Seats, too big for the Standard Cab Ranger and my 6'2 build.
I got luck and swapped a set of what I was told were FX 4 Buckets Seats for the Explorer Seats... they look good but I want new seat cover, so Terry got in the picture.
he made a lot of Seat Cover on the other RF Site, not even sure he is still around.
I am not sure which years are bolt-in but some of the earlier 2000s had bolt on Trackers which could make it easier to swap tracks from your truck to the new seats.
Not knowing what Cab you have but that is where I would start, look in a Junk Yard for a set of Bucket Seats from a Ranger with the same type of Cab you have, '03 or older, that should put you in the Ball Park.
XLTs, and FXs Models usually had Buckets, some of the other models too but you will need to start checking what is local to you so you can check them out.
Remember, if the frames are in good condition and they fit your truck you can have an Auto Seat Guy fix them up good as new.
Good Luck on the hot !
