Seat lowering brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have tried the seat lowering brackets from Brothers. Tossed them. They move the seat down but forward. I want the seat all the way back. Has anyone that's used the FCF brackets experienced this with this brand? Also, looks like the FCF only mount to the floor on one side? Sturdy?

I used them on my 72 . Very sturdy and the seat back is almost touching the cab under the rear window

My 72 C10 has the inside the cab gas tank. Does the lowering cause the seat back to hit the tank. When you say it almost hits the back how close is it. Like the stock seat mounts or more?

Thanks

Very close . You can’t get a finger in there but it clears the tank just fine

I have a set of the FCF brackets will say I will never own another 67-72 truck without them.

Those are nice, I see a set of those in the near future for me!

I put a set in my 68 last winter and really like them. Yes they only bolt in on one side but the bracket is much heavier than the factory bracket.

One down side is my wife does not like sitting lower, especially when she is driving the truck. I'm 6'3" and she is about 5'6" and she looks short driving.
