Need seat measurments QUICK! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need these quick if someone can, I am wanting to jump into this first thing in the morning.

Just bought some low back aftermarket seats for my Jimmy. I need to mount them up now and need some measurements since the factory seats are long gone. Here is what I am looking for in the red. Need a rough measurement from where the seat brackets bolt up to the top of the seat cushion.

I need front and back of the cushion measurments, so I can get the slant right.

Do you think utility bucket seats would have the same demension?

Should be fine, I just want them to feel close to factory when sitting in them.

Taken from a 72 factory lowback bucket (on level ground not in the truck)

8" at the very back to the piping at the seam.
12 1/2" at the front to the piping at the seam. 13 1/4" to the highest part of the foam.

Where you have the lines drawn 10 back and 12 1/2 front...
