Does anybody know of some way to mount second gen Camaro buckets in an 80 1/2 ton?
Im looking for a way that requires the least fabrication.

The way that I did mine was very minimal. I used Suburban frame rail mounts that had buckets in it. I also removed the additional the inner seat support. They are welded in and not too difficult to remove. Take a look at my site link to see the buckets.

I have a set of Suburban buckets also, but one of the adjusters is broken. I notice on 69Customs 83 chevy that it has the same adjusters, triangle shaped with a large round knob on them. Does anyone know where I can get a driver's side adjuster?

78LowSide, did you try looking in the junk yard for a replacement one. There are plenty around here. I am using the same kind of slide that is on your seats, all I can say that it is awesome to have hugging seats.
