Got me some buckets!
Traded my bench to a buddy for his buckets out of his 94 Chevy 1 ton, took some fabbing to get the bench in his narrower truck, but all I had to do was make 4 1" spacers and drilled 4 holes and get some longer bolts.
The spacers I have now are temporary till my dad makes me some better ones and since my mom does upholstery I'm getting them in black leather ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not bad for $5 in hardware ![]() I'm almost 6'4" and I don't have any leg room problems, but I'm going to have to d a little more fabbing when my new cab tank comes in.

Re: Got me some buckets!
I am by no means a structural engineer, but the way you have those spacers seems to be an issue. Maybe you should get a length of square tubing to lay horizontally as the support to spread the weight over a larger surface. I am just afraid those seats were made to be mounted to a flat surface. Just my opinion.

Re: Got me some buckets!
Why did you want the seats to sit an inch higher?

I used the stock mounting hole for the front left corner and for them to be level I needed to make a spacer for the rear. Total time 45min, woulda been quicker if my drill was charged up. |
