The rear will probably be OK with minor mods. Similar strengthaning to a bucket seat trucks rear inner mounting will be required for just the seating portion of the loads and attaching to all of the other stock belt mounting will be reqired for the belt loads. Trust me on this as I do this stuff for a living.

Hi Ray, thanks for the info. I remember you mentioning about the safety aspect for these seats on a thread. I stopped at my buddys shop yesterday to show him the seats and he says I need brackets to do it right and he will do them for me. He's an old bodyman and has his own frame shop now..
