There was a post not long ago on the main 67-72 section, may have even been a post I started as I am mounting up 99 Silverado seats in my K20. Anyway, a guy mentioned it is wise to consider beefing up the floor at the front of the seats also. He said in a front end collision the front of the seat can be forced down and through the floor.
I also have made some brackets and reinforcements. I will have to get pics of them. I made reinforcements that go below the floor also. I sure like the idea of having the intergrated seatbelts and hopefully I have reinforced the floor enough. Hopefully will never have to find out.
