My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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. |

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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! Eric

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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.

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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 Mike |

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
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.

Re: My new bucket seats with mounting questions
Has anyone used these bkts
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT Are they worth the money?? Thanks Mike sameyrasmea72, Thanks for the tip on the console, I will mount that then the seats to make sure. truckster, Thank you very much but southern Utah is cold enough. I like the lakes from Bryce Canyon to Boulder most 8500-9500 ft. That is cold enough. |

[QUOTE=mhs1954;4706906]Has anyone used these bkts
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT I would say they are not worth the money un less you are trying to make it look like you have a factory bucket seat truck. In that case they would be worth the money. The bad part about that is that to be correct you also need this long brace and It was originally stamped out not fabricated. I made several sets of those small ones too but could not find anybody to make the long one so I gave up.
