Late model sierra seats in a 71

[FormerMember]

Ok, so I picked up the seats I am going to use. 2002 Chevy 1/2 ton, split with the little buddy seat in the middle.

I threw them in the cab last night, trying to work out placement.

Anyone else have these in their 67-72?

Can you give me a measurement from the back of the cab to the "foot" of the seat, i.e where the back bolts down?

I figured out how I am going to support the seatbelts and the mounts. I made a piece of C channel that will be welded to the bottom of the cab, it's already drilled for the seat mounts.

The C channel is 3/8" thick, is 3" wide with a 1" lip on each side. Should be plenty strong and I am running it from cab end to cab end for all seat mounts.

Heck, I may even build a stringer for it to tie into the frame...

Are these the 40/20/40 style? If so, I will get you whatever measurements you want.

Yes, same ones we're talking about in the other thread.

In fact, I will probably delete this one, now that we're talking about it there

Might as well leave it here as some might not see it in the other thread to add their own info. Here is a link to a page I put together with info about mounting these seats in my truck. I wish I would have used C channel under the cab for even more strength. Guess I can always change that.

The measurement you want is from the back of the cab to the rear mounting hole on the seats, right?

Thanks for the information.

Yes, that's the measurement I am looking for.

I am building 6 pieces of C channel, with holes drilled to match the seats, sandwiching the floor boards. Then I may weld them to the floor...

I don't think fender washers will hold up in an impact. I also tend to over engineer things. Should see the roll cage I put into my old blazer
