Stuck. .02 appreciated

1. I tried finding a topic on this in the search box but nothing came up. I found a guy thats selling some bucket seats which are out of his 68 C10. He customized the brackets and sliders for his truck so the seats bolt down. I`m wondering if the seats will also bolt down to my 77 C10 floor aside of drilling new holes???

2. Also getting ready to lower my truck...again 1977 C10. At first I was going to do it the right way (spindles, lowering shocks, lowering springs) but then decided on just cutting my springs in the front and doing a flipkit in the back. I`m going for a 6/6 drop. Talked to my mechanic and hes charging me $300 for the complete job including the alignment. Now I`ve cut springs before on my friends cars and never had a problem with it, as in I know what I`m doing. On the other hand, I`ve never done a flipkit on a truck. How hard is it, time consuming etc... Would you guys recommend to take it to my mechanic and pick up a finished truck for 300 bucks or just do it myself on the weekend which will cost me $50 for the kit and $50 for the alignment???

In case some of you are wondering why i`m doing it this way (cutting springs instead of doing the whole job right)??? Not sure if I`m going to like driving a lowered truck. If I just cut the prings it would cost me about 40 bucks to raise it back up (oem springs from the junkyard). If I buy the spindles, shocks, lowering springs, I`ll be about 500 out of my pocket for all the parts. Not to mention I`ve done some of the research and found out that there is no downside to cutting the springs compared to spindles etc... besides the rough, stiff ride I`m already used to and love that kind of stiff suspension due to my previous cars.

Please do chime in and corerct me if I`m wrong in any field. Any opinion is greatly appreciated.
