Bolt in bucket seats (non-stock)
I am looking for a company that makes bolt in bucket seats or, at least brackets to allow you to bolt in popular high-back buckets (C5 Corvette, etc). Does anyone know of such a company???
Thanks

Check the ricer companies like APC and Sparco. I think they might offer a bracket for our trucks. It's not hard to make one if you have the tools. Otherwise, you could make a template of what you want and find a guy who welds to make you some for about $50.

With the way the floor in these trucks lays flat or nearly so you can mount just about any seat with brackets made with a hacksaw and drill.

I saw a while back that the JC Whitney catalog has buckets that are supposedly a perfect fit to our truck OR come with adapter brackets.

Re: Bolt in bucket seats (non-stock)
Just a word of caution. I have a 69 SWB Fleetside and am doing my interior now. I discovered "AFTER" I picked up my 1st set of high back buckets (Captain's chairs out of a conversion van), that unless they're in the full upright position, the headrest touches the window/back wall and it's still too close to the steering wheel and foot pedals. I'm now looking for something with a lower back or is conformed more to the cab.
I'm sure others have had this experience as well.

Classic Industries has an aftermarket low back bucket with an adapter frame.

Re: Bolt in bucket seats (non-stock)
How are the seats out of a 2000 chevy single cab (or similar) fitting in these? To high / low or to close?
