About the 1983-1986 Ford Ranger Pair
Early Rangers are now popular with fans of small eighties trucks, and clean examples are getting harder to find.
Before You Install
Inspect all anchors and clean the threads.
Good to Know
Two bench belts.
Both belts share your color choice.
Replacing both outboard bench belts at once gives a first-generation Ranger cab a matched, refreshed look.
Seatbelt Planet describes these as all-metal style belts for 1983-86 Ranger bench seats, sold for two people.
Fix any rusty anchor metal before fitting.
Unbuckled, the pair reels back toward the pillars.
Both belts share the webbing color you choose.
A new bench cover is a good moment for new belts.
Fresh belts make the truck more pleasant to drive every day.
First-generation Rangers are increasingly collected, and a tidy cab helps.
A single belt is also listed if only one side needs replacing.
Brush grit off both buckles now and then.
Seatbelt Planet makes both belts once you choose a color, and they ship together.
Rangers of this era were offered with four-cylinder and V6 engines.
The Ranger's narrow cab puts both riders close to the doors, and retractors that work smoothly keep the straps away from the door jambs when closing. That helps protect the webbing from wear.
The maker sells them as a two-person set with hardware.
The Ranger pair is sewn after a shade is chosen. Hold the swatches to the Ranger bench in daylight. One webbing lot keeps both Ranger belts identical. A new bench cover is a good moment for new belts.
The first Ranger replaced the imported Courier and was built by Ford in Kentucky and Minnesota. Many spent their lives on farms or in fleets, so both front belts are often worn through.
If only one side needs work, the single belt is listed separately.
The steel push-style buckles feel substantial in hand.
Seatbelt Planet sells these belts for two people, and they come in the color you choose, so the bench looks consistent when the doors open. For owners keeping a first-generation Ranger original, that consistency is part of the appeal.
