Bench seat to buckets?

I got some really nice buckets for $50 last week at the swap meet and they look like they're going to be pretty low. Any help? Thanks to all you awesome people out theree!

Re: Bench seat to buckets?

Can you post any pictures of them? Do you know what they came out of originally? Sounds like you did pretty well to me!

Re: Bench seat to buckets?

Definitely. Especially when you get to show up all those ricers at school when they try to race lol it gets embarrasing when I can give them a headstart and blow past them lol

Re: Bench seat to buckets?

i installed a set of cavalier buckets in a early 90`s gmc and all i did was cut some 2x2 square tubing,capped the ends,drilled holes through the center then run long bolts through the seat track,tubing,floor and had backing plates on the underside so the bolts wouldnt pull through the floor.or you could just send the seats to me for my build lol
