Bucket seat floor support - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972CST · 10-09-2008, 04:57 AM

Anybody need a factory bucket seat floor support? Getting ready to haul off a parts blazer and I wasnt sure if its worth my time to cut it out? $50 plus ship.

I would think eventually you would have a buyer for this part. I don't think these are being sold by aftermarket vendors. JMHO

**special-K** · 10-09-2008, 07:07 AM

Cut it out.I`d buy it,but bad timing.I`m sure someone will take it if it`s not rusty.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 10-09-2008, 08:46 AM

Are the costom bucket seat floor supports differant from the utility buckets seats floor supports.

1972CST · 10-09-2008, 09:17 AM

Sorry about the confusion, this support is on the underside of the floor and adds support to the are of the floor where the front of the bucket seats bolt down. I will get a pic if possible- the tub is off the frame and sitting an a trailer. I will have to lift it up to get a pic but I will.

My guess is that they are all the same, just the seats are different.

How much shipped to 97402 ? very interested

**GSFMECH** · 10-09-2008, 03:12 PM

I just put one of these in my truck to mount my buckets, it's worth saving this brace and also all of the nut plates that are welded to the bottom of the floor pan. The bench seats mount in a different location.

71HUGGER396 · 10-09-2008, 04:14 PM

Please put me in line for this, pending pics. Very interested. I'm going to be away for the weekend. Will not be near a computer until Monday night. As long as it is not rusted I'll take it if it gets to me. Shipping will be to 16055 Thank you

1972CST · 10-09-2008, 08:26 PM

Sorry guys, didnt get to get any pics. It has rained here all afternoon. Sat. will be my next chance to get over there and do anything.

(1st in line) 69step4x4- I can have this to your door for $75 total.

(2nd in line) 71HUGGER396- To your door for $70 if 69step4x4 backs out.

1972CST · 10-11-2008, 12:26 PM

Here are a few pics. It looks like this truck was undercoated, some surface rust but very solid.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-11-2008, 01:14 PM

These do have to be modified slightly to fit a pickup. I just sold a Blazer set to a customer of mine and he had to cut the ends off and fab up new ones. They will work, but do require some alterations. WES

1972CST · 10-11-2008, 06:32 PM

Thanks Wes, I thought it was a direct fit. Do you know any spacifics on where and what to do to make this work in a truck?

I have one that I took of my truck, not sure if the pics help but they are in my build thread in the last few pages of when I cut my old floor out.

1972CST · 10-12-2008, 09:29 AM

Thanks msgross- I didnt see any major differences?

I guess there is "some" modification required to use this in a truck, just dont know exactly what.
I will remove center brace and nut plates from old floor to keep shipping down. I can also glass bead blast nut plates to remove surface rust if you would like.

Hi,
Will the seat brace work on my 72 K20 and can you give me a guesstimate on shipping to 55357 as I have a set of factory bucket seats I would like to install.

Thanks Bud

This support will work in your truck w/ "some" modification. The problem is I dont know exactly what has to be modified. I am only passing along info from another member. I am going to research this and see what I can come up with.
$70 to your door.

budman k20 · 10-14-2008, 01:10 PM

I will take it even if it needs to be modified. Please send payment info.
