Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
Built a frame for the seats a couple weeks ago. Pushed through the heat and fabricated the mounts today. Want to add some gussets to the feet for more strength. Maybe get to that and cutting seat risers down this weekend.

What steel is it that you used? I need to make a seat riser for my seats out of a Mercedes R350.

Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
Just used a mild steel 1" square tube I picked up at Ace Hardware. Did not see a need to go way overkill. Only needs to support 3 people and the seats. Seat belts are are floor mounted in the truck. If I was installing seats with integrated belts a thicker wall tube would have been ordered and used. Should finish up all mounts tomorrow.

My rear seat brackets are way overkill at 3/8 inch thick. Those are integrated belt seats from the third row of a cadi/suburban. I will likely go with 1/4 inch for the front brackets. |

Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
Should have mentioned I used 1/4" steel for the feet. The gussets and box plates on the mounts are 3/16". Fully finished finished the seat mounting today, last riser and feet of frame boxed in. It is ready to bolt into truck as the original bench went in. Will most likely do a beauty cover for the sides now.
