Inner mounts for bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ECU PIRATE · 04-20-2010, 03:45 PM

Getting ready to mount the bucket seats. Which is better to attach the inner track mounts to the floor? Weld them or bolt them to the floor? I don't have access to a welder at the moment and can't seem to catch up with my buddies that do. Everyone is busy with their projects.

Hi ECU
Im in the same boat your in with the seats and the tracks I have the tracks off of some buckets that came out of a surburban The out side holes line up so Im going to bolt that in as far as the inside goes Im still trying to figure out what to do there My truck is an 82 that came out with the bench seat Im putting seats that came out of a volvo in Im trying to now figure out how to mount the brackets from the surbanban seats onto the volvo seats The seats that the surburban had were all messed up and ripped let me know if you figure yours out because im at a stand still with mine

Take care

Seems like I will be drilling some holes in the floor to mount the Suburban " A " mount to the floor, to finish up the seat install. The old lady is on my ass right now to get the truck out of the garage. I can always go back and weld them later
