Title: Bucket seat (inside perch mounting)
Post by: zieg85 on April 14, 2008, 04:36:20 pm

Does anyone know anyone making these to install factory buckets in a 1986 pickup?  I let a set go with a set of buckets I sold and didn't think to at least make a template for them.  I ran across a nice pair of red ones for my 86 project and now need them myself.

Jeff has a template that you can bend a piece of sheetmetal to make the mount.  Suburbans have these in them.

I know, that is where I carved the ones that I let go with the blue bucket seats out of that Suburban I sold. The neighbors didn't appreciate the air chisel going one Sunday morning back in January.
