Re: 72 SWB STEP "Army truck" Budget Build
Luckily the foam was good so i bought some covers from truckseats here on the forum. I also bought a front brace from a Blazer that a forum member parted out (i forget who). Its not possible to install it on one piece with the cab on the frame. I thought about removing the cab mount bolts and raising the cab but I decided to cut it in half to install it and will weld it back together before i install the carpet. Right now its just screwed in with a few sheetmetal screws underneath. I bought the rear braces from Roger koop. On the driver side, I measured over 1-3/16" from the existing outer front bench seat hole. On the passenger side, I used the existing outer front hole bench seat bracket hole as the bucket seat mounting hole and drilled three new holes. Using this method, all of the underbrace holes lined up! I used a 3/8" bit to give a little wiggle room.
Heres the seats mocked up.
