The seats come with manual tracks, but I discarded those and used the Explorer power bracket assemblies. The manual Ranger/Explorer brackets may be similar, but the Explorers have a nice flat rail.
The tapped holes in the bottom of the seat just missed the brackets, so all that was need was a small tab to connect the two.
I used a button head fastener as shown to keep the seats a low as possible. They are now lower than the Ex seats, and the original Ranger seats. With the power option, they can rise about 5" is desired.
Power race seats! lol...

Fancy!
The new seat bolts are just slightly wider than the Explorer power seat tracks. They'll sit like this with some button-head bolts. Just need to drill the frames.
Oh, here's what an Ex power seat rail looks like. Figured it's just as easy to use this as make them manual. If I don't like it, I'll redo it
Good thing is I won't need to redo my seatbelt receivers, they're bolted to the frame. I will need to find a place to mount the controls.

Soooo.... They might be way too tall, I have no idea. May toss them in the truck in the morning.

Anyway, I don't love the seats or anything, just wanted something white. They're comfy, and I was able to easily retain the power functions.
Intake gaskets on the dash, lol...
The rails tuck in nicely. The control panel is sitting in front of each seat- that's where they are on my car, so I'll leave them there for a while.
I still haven't cleaned the thing, but I'm sure I'll get to that soon.
