Easy bucket upgrade for 73-87 chev truck

[twistedmetal]

while building my latest projest i came across this neat upgrade.was at the local wrecking yard and came across this 87 burban,it had the silverado interior with captains chair buckets and console.both buckets were in showroom shape and the console had only minor wear,didn't hesitate to shell out the $40 cdn for the lot.anyways,made sure i chiseled the front inner mounting tabs that the seat frame bolts to.got hom and found that the 2 outside boltholes lined up perfectly.took the seat back out of the truck and took the torch,heated up the inner rear bolt hole on frame,tweaked it upward,cause on the trux they are the reversed angle.removed carpet cause the insulation on it is extremely flamable,dont bother trying the wet cloth trick.bolted seat back into place and attached the front mounting tab to the seat bracket and zapped it with the mig,then removed seat to properly weld tab into place.make sure to grab the rear mounting bracket from the console when removing it from the burban.any other questions,email me

S-10 buckets work nice too. Three of the legs mount on the raised portion of the floor pan, and the fourth leg needs about a 3 inch support. I used some 1" pipe to supprot the fourth one. The seats look pretty good, sorry no pics yet
