Late Model Bucket Install?

[BowTieOgre]

I did a search on the site and got a little info but need more. Has anyone installed a set of bucket seats out of a '99 or newer truck in their truck? I may have a set available and was wondering how involved the install was. They are non power seats out of an '06. Thanks.

I did in my K5

FYI - Blazer has a flat floor vs pickups that don't.
You will have to fab up some custom mounts to make them work.

I suggest you consder other options unless you want to fab from scratch. The factory brackets make the newer style seats very tall for our trucks.

We have fabricated frames that mount in the factory holes and then bolted the seats to them. We made them out of 2" angle. I do not have a picture but the basically were simple. I could kind of make you a drawing if you want.
it would have to have a consule to cover up the center part as it goes the full width of the cab and spans over the floor.

^awesome!

i picked up a 40/20/40 set outta of 99-00 silverado for $40 that i've been meaning to install post fat-matt. i've been sort of dreading it after doing a little research tho. it actually keeps me up at night.

what do these brackets cost w/ shipping and handling? i'd like to purchase a set.

We just fab them up as needed and don't really offer them for sale. I am sketching up some drawings this weekend. They are pretty simple and not hard to make. I have pic's of one installed but not out of the truck. Will post them to.

that'd be cool, thanks.



BowTieOgre: i think we'll have the same seats. did that set originaly come with the jump / cupholder middle seat too? i don't think i'll be using that part in my installation due to clearance issues with the floor shift and the cup holder. also, i'd prefer a custom console.
