Title: bucket seat hardware.
Post by: SaintOf84 on October 14, 2010, 12:04:31 am
Does anyone know where i can get the floor tabs for bucket seats for an 84 c10? Is there a kit out there with the brackets and mounting hardware??

Welcome to the forum SaintOf84 . No one makes a "kit" for the brackets. You can build one yourself, or modify a Suburban bracket.

No it looks like that is where he got his autometer gauges. thats what is in those yellow boxes. It looks like he just painted everything.

That is correct. Jeff did not use a kit, they are factory brackets he cut down and painted.

You might get them faster, easier, and cheaper at the junk yard.

yeah i've been checking around here and nobody has any that had bucket seats. All of the yards i have contacted said they all have bench seats so no floor tabs.

Suburbans are the only place to find the tabs, most of the pickups have been picked through, and no one makes a kit.
I have some tabs I removed and I am plan to see if my supplier will be interested in make them, this won't be immediate though.
