A bucket seat question
 
Good Afternoon,
I discovered this forum after I purchased my 86 GMC short bed .
Soon I'll be sending it off to be repainted and as a part of that refurbishing I will be replacing the very faded interior. I am or was planning on replacing the bench seat with a set of low back buckets and console from a 1988-95 GMC.
I have hit a snag what I thought was going to work for seat tracks will not.

What recommendations does anyone have for making those low back buckets adaptable to my 86 GMC
Thank You
David

Thank you for the responses. Yes , I have looked at the you tube video's and thought I had a direction before I started this post , today however I discovered the seat tracks that would be used in the videos and as mentioned on another forum are actually to long for the 88-95 low back bucket . The seat track is too long for the seat . The tracks original to the buckets would make the seat set way too high as the floor in our trucks is not flat
I have seen pictures of these seat installed so there is a solution
