they may bolt to stock chevy bucket seat sliders. Jeep guys use gm seats a lot since a lot of them bolt right up to the jeep sliders/risers.

Re: anyone using jeep seats?

FYI, bucket seat sliders are almost identical to bench seat sliders. Pic 1 & 2 are bench sliders and 3rd are factory bucket sliders. The only difference is the rear of the slider where it bolts to the seat.

Re: anyone using jeep seats?

well my seats are from a newer jeep with electric bottoms, and then the other problem is...bench seats have two sliders and you need four to put in buckets lol

I know you need four sliders for buckets, it was a suggestion.

Re: anyone using jeep seats?

There have been a few bucket seat mount threads, I didn't save any but one way is to fab a frame (I'll use square tubing) the width of the bench seat that mounts to the floor where the bench did. Mount the buckets to the frame then add a console in-between.....
