Just make sure you re-enforce with plates underneath bro, don't just bolt-nut-washer-lockwasher your mounts. The re-enforced rails the GM engineers laid out on the originals are for a reason....strength! I used 1/4 inch plates and 1/2 inch grade 8 hardware to mount my 2002 Silverado seats in my 72 SWB. Wrecks stink and if you don't have them bolted down good you may regret it. The sheet metal in our trucks is pretty thin without some beefing up
