Where to get bucket seat mounting tabs?

I've read that I need an "A" shaped mounting tab to put factory bucket seats in my single cab pickup. Does anyone make these aftermarket?

None made aftermarket that I know of. Ive been talking with a fabricator I know about doing batches though. So maybe in the near future.

If you make some let me know. I believe on my next trip to the junkyard I'll bring a chisel.

In 10 years of looking at 73-87s in junkyards, I have never seen a truck with factory buckets. Actually, I have never seen one in person anywhere.

All of the suburbans that came with buckets, which I think is more than half, have the correct brackets you need. I got mine from a guy parting out a suburban. $40 got me the seats and the brackets.

73-87.com has a pattern you can use to make some. I used 1" flat bar.
