Excellent idea! I may do this one in my suburban. I just want to mention that it is very important to make these brackets out of very stout material. If there are 3 people in front, that is a lot of weight! I might even add underfloor braces, just to be extra sure.....

Have you considered making and selling your floor brackets??

Was that a 60 /40 bench or buckets.? I have a set of buckets from a Escalade and they look like they mount easily, they sit flat on all 4 mounting points.

I would be interested in a set of the mounting brackets as I am going to but 2002 Chevy truck seats in my 67 GMC extended cab, THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

Here are a couple pics of the brackets I am using to mount my 98 Silverado 40/20/40 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 perpindicular 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.
