i got em off a 78 pick up.....they were brown, and tore up...but, all original

i had them re-upholestered ($$$)

....i got the stock "curved" brackts off of it that were spot welded to the floor....

If you are going to bolt them to the floor use big washers to distribute the load as much as possible.
Beefing up the floor would be a good idea.
The more you can spread the load the better off you are.
Maybe run a plate or angle from bolt to bolt to distribute as much as possible.
Mounting the seat incorrectly or where the floor is weak can be dangerous in an accident.
I would avoid spot-welding the brackets to the floor.
A spot weld may not be enough and may break loose at the worst time.

Drill holes in the floor tabs and bolt them to the floor...that is what I will be doing. As Eddie said, try to use some larger washers for safety.
