Even for a runabout work truck this has reached the point of unacceptability.

I am guessing 4-8 bolts. Maybe few electrical plugs. Little elbow grease. Reverse steps when installing new. The longest part is probably getting the replacement seats delivered.

Fine Corinthian leather.

If it’s the same as the F150, it’s four bolts and easy as pie. Just spray the studs with tons of PB Blaster the night before.

Use Bondo to fill any holes that can’t be welded, then coat the seat in bedliner.

Super easy, un-clip the plugs for the seat belt pretensioners, then however many bolts, prob 8.

I’m thinking pick-n-pull adventure once the weather cools off. This isn’t my Truck but the manager is too cheap to do anything about it so it’s me and another coworker on our own just trying to make life better for the 6 of us that use it.

Funny story: I bought one custom fit for this Ranger. The cord to attach it snapped when I was installing it. In the passing time the amount of foam ripped out of the seat got really bad. I suppose it could still use it and just stuff some foam and duct tape under it. But it seemed like at this stage a new bench might be best.

Did you run out of duct tape?

All I know is that my little brother and his buddy did it with what they found in my parent’s tool box.

And he’s an idiot, and that tool box is less stocked than what I have on hand for those suprise junkyard adventures.

We are only allowed to buy calibrated duct tape. It is too expensive for makeshift repairs.
