Need Pics of Bucket seat mounting brackets

Ive got a set of bucket seats out of a mid 90's Nissan car of some sort that i got for free and would like to put in my 77 in place of the shot bench seat. Problem is as all of you know is that the floor insnt level or anything close to under the seats on these trucks.

Im looking for some pictures or ideas of how to make some brackets to mount these seats in my truck. Im thinking that i will take the seat mounts off of the bench seat and weld them to the outside rail of the buckets so that takes care of the one side.

Thanks

I just mounted 40/20/40 seats in my 77 in place of the bench. After the bench was removed I used 2" flat strap as the new mounting platform. I bent the flat strap and drilled holes in it to use the exsiting mounting holes in the floor. Next I used 2" angle iron and bolted the seat to the angle. next the seats were placed in the truck and the angle was tacked to the 2" flat strap. Seats were pulled out and everything was welded up. Ill post some pics tomorrow
