How did you mount bucket seats? Without building a cage....

[BloodMoon]

Hi again!

I made a trip down to PRP in Temecula today to figure out what seat I wanted for the front and of course what colors...

but I came across a dilemma, I cannot access the area above the rocker boxes so I can't "sandwich" the floor with washers to mount them.

So, without building a cage a mounting the seats to the tubing: How did you fine folks get the job done?

Thanks!

stock bench seat slider brackets bolted to floor.

1"x1" square tube welded in a huge rectangle frame to the sliders.

then my seats 88-95 c/k low back buckets with there stock sliders still on them . but removed the riser plates .

this got me around 1.5"-2" lift in the seat area and I love it a lot better than stock seat hight .

Nice job! I'm trying to figure out how to remount the electric buckets I got from a Pontiac soccermom van so my head isn't in the ceiling. Minus a welder. or a buddy with one, it's a real PITA. I didn't realize later model trucks,etc deleted the humps til I got home and started ripping.
