Insulationg and carpeting

[Yukon Jack]

Sunday and Monday night I got most of the insulation done on the cab. Laid the carpet in the floor yesterday morning and got out last night to get more done.









These are the 98 Silverado 40/20/40 seats I will be using.



Here are a couple pics of the brackets I am using to mount the seats. My intent was to reinforce the floor to some extent due to the fact that these seats have the integrated seat belts. The mounting holes on these seats do not match the existing holes so what I did was add these plates to the top of the floor and then I have also made three plates that go under the floor.



There is a section of C channel welded to the front bracket that the middle seat attaches to.





Underneath the truck I have this plate that is in the raised area below the front bracket.



Then I have two additional plates that both go perpendicular to this plate. One is about 5" wide and connects the front seat bracket to the rear seat bracket nearest to the transmission. Then I have a plate that is about 1 1/2" wide that connects the front seat bracket to the rear seat bracket nearest to the door. My intent is that with these brackets tied together from the bottom of the floor to the top of the floor, I have reinforced the floor where the seats bolt in.
