installing bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found some buckets out of an old subaru I'm going to go get at the junk yard tommorow and was wondering if there are any links out there that might help me install them. Or if any of you guys can help me out. I can use the brackets that are on the car now right? I just have to drill some new holes in the floor board to mount them right? I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to lift them up some to see out of the truck. Do I need to buy a spacer or can they be made?

Most seats out of any other vehicle requires new holes in the cab floor or modified brackets.

I havent been able to get the seats. The yard was closed on Monday and since Monday evening its been raining almost nonstop. I don't think I'll be able to get them until next week when the mud dries out.
