Bucket seat options for my '84 K5...

[WantedaDodge]

So, I have re welded my seats up several times and they keep breaking so I am tired of messing with them and I was thinking about going with like some Trail Max seats... do they just bolt right to my factory frames and mounts?

Any suggestions?

Using the factory seat mounts is part of the problem. Small contact area to the floor with too much leverage on it. Why the engineers thought it was a good idea to mount the seats that way is beyond me. I did a complete seat replacement.

Even if you wanted to use factory seats/mounts you should reinforce the floor like I did. Anything you can make to distribute the load on the floor would be better than the original design.

My floor was ripped due to the 280 pound brothers who drove the truck. Tig welded it all back together, then started building the cage. Mounted the seats to horizontal bars in the cage.
