70 Ranger XLT original bench seat upholstery pic needed
Just curious if anyone has a picture of an original bench seat.
I think I found the correct green material and vinyl to make a new cover, but I am not certain of the design or if there are buttons or not.
The aftermarket one currently in my truck is too dark a green and no buttons.
Thanks very much
Chris

Re: 70 Ranger XLT original bench seat upholstery pic needed
Been Googling for the past hour trying to find a photo of an original unmolested Ranger XLT with no luck. I see a lot of trucks but none that advertise "original interior". With that said I did find replacement upholstery marketed as correct. https://www.cjponyparts.com/bench-seat- ... 3QQAvD_BwE Saw similar at other vendors.

Thanks. I saw that one as well as one with one central button/medallion.
Just wanted to be as correct as I can.

Re: 70 Ranger XLT original bench seat upholstery pic needed
Hey Chris,
I'd love to see a picture of the '70 Boss 302 Mustang if you have one available. I came within a gnats ass of getting one in the mid 80's but the guy had just sold it. He said the engine was blown but come to find out it was only a bent valve.
Thanks

This is the one in my son's '70 Ranger XLT (color scheme - boxwood green on wimbledon white):chriscris wrote:Thanks. I saw that one as well as one with one central button/medallion.

Link to bigger pic.
If that's the one you are looking for (dark green with lighter inserts) I can get you better pics when I get home. This is all I have on my phone atm.

Re: 70 Ranger XLT original bench seat upholstery pic needed
Thanks for the help. Do the fabric parts go right up over the backrest?
Also looking for a closeup of the medallion/button.

No, the fabric parts stop at the top and do not wrap over:

I'll get you a closeup of the medallion tonight.

Re: 70 Ranger XLT original bench seat upholstery pic needed
Actually I got my son to take a couple of pics, so here you go:

Full size pic.

If you need more angles or something, tell me.
BTW, that's probably not very comfortable for the person stuck in the middle.
