    Ok, guys.
    The reason I'm asking this question on this forum is because this crowd usually knows a lot about everything automotive/mechanical. So don't hate on me for asking the wrong question at the wrong place.

    Here goes......'96 Ford Ranger. I swapped out the seats with an '06 Ranger and everything went well EXCEPT, the male end of the seatbelt is too big for the female end in the seat.
    So, do they make an adapter/ reducer for this kind of problem?
    All the spare / old parts have been trashed, so that's not an option.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have a wrecked 1994 explorer at the shop.
    If the seatbelts are any good you can have them if want them.
    I would think they should be the same as a 1996?

    for reference the first one is a 2001 ranger and the bottom one is the 1994 explorer one.

    I know a guy who ran into this problem before on a ‘98 Ranger. He found out there is a Mazda style buckle and a Ford style buckle that were used simultaneously on the assembly line between the two makes. I think the Mazda style is the thin one and the Ford is the wide one in the pic @Hulld posted.
