What did those seats come out off? Are they 67-72 chevy buckets? Do you need them to slide?

Looks like older Mercedes Benz buckets. Probably 126 chassis car. Sorry if no one else knows what I am talking about. I repair Benz vehicles for a living.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Cutting and repositioning the front mounts that bolt to the floor will lower the seats down a little but will probably still be too high. I had the same problem when bolting up 91 chevy buckets in mine with sliders. I threw away the sliders and built me a seat frame out of square tubing and angle iron. They dont slide, but there exactly where i want them.

Re: Interior someone please Help

hows it goin?
correct me if im wrong, but from what i understand, u took the brackets off the bench seat which is a slider, right?
and it seems like you also took the brackets off the buckets, which look also like sliders. (i see a handle near the bottom of one of the bucket seat)
if im correct, why would you want 2 sets of sliders stackd atop each other??

best bet would be to use only the slider brackets from the buckets seat and make a bracket for them.
