My new bucket seats with mounting questions

[mhs1954]

It took a lot of doing but my seats are done. They are not correct but the material is correct for bench but due to the heat in Las Vegas I wanted a cloth seat. The foam is 71-72. They will be installed in 1970 GMC. When SMS filled my order for material it was filled with pieces that totaled much more than amount ordered, I have enough material left to do another seat so I may do the bench that is stock too and just have to get more welt. The guy that did the upholstry did a heck of a job.

If I maintain the same spacing from the door to the seat will the spacing be correct for the console and passenger seat.

I believe if you have the correct brackets, you will use the outer holes from your bench seat. There is also a brace for a bucket seat cab, but most people don't use it.
Seats look nice by the way!

That looks good and I like the idea of the cloth in the middle. My truck will mainly be driven in the summer so I might do something like what you did.

for the inside holes i've always made up a backer strip of 3/16 by 2" wide strip of metal to mount under the cab floor to prevent those bolts from pullin thru the floor

To take care of winter driving when I go fishing in Southern Utah I had seat heaters put in. Allweather seats and the color match is perfect.

Thanks

Those look sweet!!! Nice stock look. As far as mounting goes, I think the only mounting spot you use from the bench seat holes is the passenger side outer front.

If you don't have in your carpet yet, there should be 4 dimples in the cab floor where the console mounts. They are sometimes difficult to see but I have seen them on most cabs. If you get the console in the correct spot it will help you center the buckets better.

Living in northern Utah, southern Utah is where we go to get warm in the wintertime.

The seats look great.
