To bring back a dead post, does anyone have the answer? I just picked up a set of these in the hopes I might be able to install them. The pic is exactly what I have (same damage to drivers seat). Frame is the same (over hang seat mounts on ends with the weird notch on the closest bracket). I would hope someone has done this and recorded it with pics and commentary. In my opinion, they look slightly better than the stock (please GM gods don't strike me down). I guess these even have the GM foam. If anybody has info about fitting, modifying or even what year they came out of would be great. The seats I got came out of a 62 GMC, so techniquely I didn't fail. I saw somewhere brackets will be needed or find a frame and bolt them in. Well anyway if someone out there can show a detailed install for model frame I would be grateful. I borrowed "The_Bulldog" 's pics and ya I am rambling...excited I guess.
