Rear vinyl seat

Diesel_Brad · 12-05-2012, 09:24 PM

Ok guys, I want to start collecting parts while I am working, so when I am laid off, I can have the items to install.

I have put in a set of 1st gen Lightning buckets and console to replace the beat up original Vinyl buckets. Now I need a vinyl bench to match the buckets(charcoal).
How common were the XL broncos. I assume that was all the vinyl came in. I want to keep the rear seat vinyl, because I plan on leaving the top of 50% of the time and just put in on for the winter to keep snow out while it is parked.

I am also going to need the complete interior in the charcoal as well. I think I have a lead on the door panel and forward. I would still need the B pillars and the rest of the cargo area. WOuld 87-91 parts work in my 96?

Use interior spray paint

Yeah, ........... NO

my 96 XL has cloth benches front and rear..., not vinyl

"Custom" was vinyl. I don't have production stats, but I would guess only about 15% were customs.

As far as interior, the earlier stuff will physically "fit" but the 96 had provisions for stuff the 87-91 didn't....like rear seat belts.
Door panels won't match dash and window vents are different.

Short answer is "no"

Look for '92-93 parts.

Brad, I have used some different types of vinyl paint to paint interior items and have never been overly impressed with the results. Maybe it was the brand I picked, or the application in which I applied, or just me but if you are looking for a "factory correct" look, I would suggest using replacement parts. IIRC ford went to cloth vs vinyl from 94-96 for their seats... JMO

92-96 have rear seat shoulder belt mounting points attached to camper top for outboard rear seats.

dupe reply, please delete

'78-91 rear seat has 2 on-seat lap belt retractors, 1 manual-adjust center lap belt, & 3 buckles (2 outboard); '92-96 has the same center belt, but 3 mid-seat buckles for shoulder reels on the body.

.

Other than the welded nuts for the '78-91 outboard buckles, the seat itself is the same.

Ok, so I can replace the 96 seat with a earlier model one, just not the other way around due to the seat belts
