Got me some buckets!
 

Traded my bench to a buddy for his buckets out of his 94 Chevy 1 ton, took some fabbing to get the bench in his narrower truck, but all I had to do was make 4 1" spacers and drilled 4 holes and get some longer bolts.
The spacers I have now are temporary till my dad makes me some better ones and since my mom does upholstery I'm getting them in black leather :D

Not bad for $5 in hardware :)

I'm almost 6'4" and I don't have any leg room problems, but I'm going to have to d a little more fabbing when my new cab tank comes in.

I am by no means a structural engineer, but the way you have those spacers seems to be an issue. Maybe you should get a length of square tubing to lay horizontally as the support to spread the weight over a larger surface. I am just afraid those seats were made to be mounted to a flat surface. Just my opinion.

Why did you want the seats to sit an inch higher?

Looks cool,how long did it take you to put them in?

Those are just temporary..

I used the stock mounting hole for the front left corner and for them to be level I needed to make a spacer for the rear.

Total time 45min, woulda been quicker if my drill was charged up.
