Re: Bench to buckets.....can I see your brackets please?

Ok, I'll take a few pics of the bottom. Ive found buckets before that were year/time correct for these trucks, but when I checked with the upholstery shop to have them rebuilt/recovered I almost fell out! It was insane what they wanna charge. Now, I have no idea how labor intensive upholstery work is, so the price may be justifiable, but it was gonna be close to $700 for them to re-do a set of low back K5 buckets that I was gonna put in the K10.
Here is a pic of the bottom of the drivers seat. Pretty basic, 4 holes. Right side is just tabs coming off the rail and the left side bolt hole is actually in the rail itself.
First thoughts are that it'd be easiest to just use the existing bench rail and weld the seat directly to it and fab up a match out of square tubing and add some tabs to bolt into the floor, then weld the other side of the seat directly to the fab'd rail.
