Astro Van - bucket seats (adapting to truck)

[gchemist]

Has anyone adapted these seats into a truck?I have just obtained two very nice red seats. The seats have an adjustable back that you can actually flatten out even with the seat!! The seats are currently mounted on the orginal bracket. The bracket is about 6 to 10 inches tall. If you have adapted any type of bucket seat please tell me how you did it. If don't find an easy method to adapt these seats I'm just going to sell them. Drilling the cab floor board is something I don't really want to consider. Raising the cab to drill is probably more than I really like to do. Remember the gas tanks are right below the floor board. I obtained the chairs by trading some used 350 heads I didn't need. I'll try to post some pics. If you can provide pics please send me a few.
