1950 Pickup Bucket Seat Frame Options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Curt - TN · 03-13-2017, 01:52 PM

I bought a pair of Nissan Altima bucket seats and now I need to figure out some frames or bases to raise them up.

For those that have used buckets out of a car I would love to see some pictures and ideas on what you made as mounting brackets or platforms. I have a flat floor right now all the way across.

Thanks!

I would recommend you run a pieces of 1 x 3 x .120 wall tubing under the floor from rocker to rocker. It will keep the floor from flexing now that the riser is gone.

Great idea, I almost did nto cathc that but I ended up welding in a piece of "L' angle all the way across before I painted, I figured that may be an issue.

What is that, like a 4 inch lift?
