Bucket seat help

[Chevy911]

I'm trying to install a set of factory buckets into a 1990 crew cab. These seats were supposedly mounted in a mid 80's regular cab. The rail spacing seems too narrow, 10"? The second pic shows where the floor mount would line up at 10" from the original outer hole. I did not remove these parts from the trucks myself unfortunately. Anyone have a measurement for where the inner mount should be?

Hmm.... Bolt the mount to the seat. Bolt in the seat to the other mounts and the mount In Question will self locate, then you can weld it down.

I'm very tempted to do that! LOL If this was a known good combo that would be exactly how I would do it. In pictures, it seems like the mount should be further inboard. If that is correct I may need different rails. I'd like to be as close to factory installation as I can. Thanks for the reply

It might be crew cabs used bucket seats and brackets the same as a Suburban,I think the floors are different on those than a single cab..

What you have is exactly what you need.
You do not need different rails.
And how I told you, is how I have done two trucks without issue.

Plus what are you trying to accomplish? If that's your truck and your seats your going to use, who cares?
