1980-86 vs 1987-1991 Bucket Seat Upholstery


Recommended Posts

Im picking up a set of high back 87-91 Eddie Bauer Bronco Buckets and console tonight. I'll need them recovered in blue. RAYBUCK lists 80-86 Bronco covers. The 80-86 look very close to (if not exactly the same) as the 87-91. The most obvious exception being that the early buckets have 2 folding arm rests per seat, and the 87-91 only have the inner arm rest.

Does anyone know if the 80-86 upholstery would work fine with the 87-91 frames?

I'm very interested in seeing where this question leads as I've been wondering the same.

Mine I pulled from an '85 Bronco and are very similar to the ones in your bottom pic. Difference being that mine are 100% blue vinyl and only have the inboard arm rests.

Blue vinyl is what I'm going for on these. I picked them up tonight. I have 2 tan consoles now. Do you have an extra blue one?

This is the look I'm going for.

Here is what I'm working with. The console on the right I already had.

These consoles are not exactly the same. The cup holders are deeper on the one I know came from an 87 Eddie Bauer Bronco. I'm not sure what year these seats and console originated from. They were pulled from a bullnose single cab f150. The mounting holes are also just slightly different.

Yes, the later models are deeper. I found one that matched the 86 interior I used to own for that reason.

Edit: The mounting holes didn't line up IIRC, the two front did, but not the two rear. I like the 92 and up consoles better, I think Gary put one in his truck.
