    A friend's neice wrecked her B2300 Mazda truck. He brought over a wheel from it and it looks like it'll fit the 74 Maverick OK. It's a 15" also. He also brought over the seats out of the truck. They are the high back bucket types with the arm rest than flips up to seat 3. I'm thinking they will fit good with some modifications to the mounts. Anybody ever used any seats or wheels off a B2300 Mazda truck?

    Since the truck is basically a Ford Ranger, I am pretty sure the wheels will fit, as I've seen Ranger wheels on a Mav before. The seats may fit fine as well, if they have the same frame size as the Ford seats they will bolt up to Mav seat tracks.

    Well Matt, I got all the wheels on it and I think they look pretty good. I'll get some pictures on here sonn. The tires are pretty shot but the wheels will clean up good. Nothing fancy,just shineymags with the holes around them and the rivits. About like the wheels on F150's.
    Price was right at $50 though. Seats are nice. I know I'll have to do some abbing but that's fine.

    Yup, ranger wheels will fit. I put aluminum wheels off of a 97ish ranger on mine
    Had to make the hub hole a bit bigger but no problem.

    Those look great. Mine have the round holes and the rivits on them. They look like the mag wheels on the 80s-90's F150's
    As soon as I get batteries for the camera I'll get some pics on here.

    Here's my 2 Mavericks. I'm thinking the gold one it the one to fix up seeing as it's a 5 lug and in better shape than the red on body wise. The red on has a 200 ci and actually runs and drives though. I have a 302 in the shop I'm gonna ring and bearing to put in the gold one. Still need the frame mounts but running out of money for a while. The wheels and tires I just got are on the gold one.

    Thanks, I think once they are cleaned up and shiney they will look OK. They won't ever be as nice as some out there but I am on a budget and they fit the buget perfectly. lol.
    Anybody want to buy the B2300 bucket seats?
