Custom seat bracket ideas?
 
I'm looking to install some bucket seats from a 1994 Chevy cheyenne into my 1985 GMC 1500 pickup. Because of the seat hump this isn't a simple install, so I'm looking for some ideas. The seats are all electric and I wouldn't mind keeping that option. I've pictured the drivers seat, and as stock sits way too high. I wish I knew how to disconnect the stock bracket, looks like 3 or 4 good size rivets hold the brackets to the seat track itself. Let me know or show some pictures of some good custom bucket seat installs. Thanks.

I'm having some issues trying to load pictures, will keep trying on a seperate post.

The easiest way is to use the original squarebody seat brackets. You'll need an extra set for the buckets.

This guys video covers most of it

It's for a splint bench, but idea works for the buckets also. It does kill the electric part, but it gets some nice and comfortable seats into the truck.

I couldnt get anything to work right that kept bucket seats sitting low enough. I looked all over the place. I ended up making my own frame that pretty much sits on the floor and bolts in place of the factory bench seat.

I made it as universal as I could so I could bolt just about any set of seats and sliders to it.

You might have to go that route if nothing else works
