Bucket Seat Cabs
I have heard that bucket seat cabs have extra supports or something. Can anyone shed some light? Might have got a 1 ton cab that was a factory bucket seat one and was just wondering. Thanks

There are extra retangle shaped brakets welded to the underside of the cab.

There is also a brace that runs between the front of the seats under the cab. The seat bolts to this crossbrace. Blazers also have this brace, but factory bench seat cabs don't.

Under Cab Brackets
Here is a few pictures of the brackets. Cut the floor out of a rotten cab.

Sure makes it easier if you can get one like this with all of the original parts and pieces all together. |
