1984 bronco ii seat, bracket help

[mjr46]

I have a 1984, bronco ii that I use for plowing snow, and hauling my JetSki‘s down to the river. The floor pan is rusted out on the driver side and unfortunately rusted out the driver side seat bracket. I have looked everywhere to find one and or a solution to my dilemma. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this problem? Anyone know where to find them? I just need the driver side. eBay doesn’t even have them.

Will a Ranger seat track work?

I don’t know if a ranger bracket set up would work the front floor pan is the same but only houses the front portion of the seat bracket bolting area. A lot of rangers had bench seats, so they wouldn’t work. I was hoping some bronco two guys could answer.

The bucket seat sliders in my truck are stamped Ranger/BroncoII. I can't see them being different.

Question is where to find such….. for the time being a metal L Bracket and a few min with my mig welder has solved the crisis

So here is what I ended up with once I fixed the floor, pan and seat bracket decided to med, blast the old rust bucket, and then painted and this is what I ended up with didn’t pull any dents fixed a few rust holes and epoxy primer and build primer and one block session. It’s a 20 footer but not bad.

It’s OK I didn’t do a super bang up job on purpose. I use this to plow snow and tow, my JetSki down to the river where I live. I mainly wanted to get it covered with paint because it didn’t have any on it. Somebody had sanded the two-tone down to bare metal and that’s the way it was for 15 years. so it had a accumulated a good bit of rust. All in all it is a very usable truck now.

Same with my '84 Ranger. Original factory paint was all worn off the top by 2008, so I painted it just so it wouldn't rust.

The way I look at it, a truck is a tool, not an idol to be worshipped or a bauble to be babied.

You did a good job on yours.

Thanks I believe fully mine is a tool, this past week I have used it nonstop to plow snow. It is a beast I put chains on it. That thing will plow uphill, and can turn it around in a tight spot easily.
