my 85 LWB

I've got a few pics of the brackets. I can describe in detail with pics when I get home.

Thanks that will be cool sure won't hurt to get more ideas. I was going with the idea of trying to use the original bench seat tracks and building a frame but I don't want them to seat to high.

i know about the height thing lol.
basically what i did on the back bolt holes was i used 2' angle and ran a peice between the factory seat bolt and the seat belt bolt. but they are offset so the angle iron was angled slightly.
then a peice of 3 inch long angle on the front bolt.
chopped the factory brackets off the tahoe seats down to a 1/8 of a inch off the sliders.
then c clammped angle iron 2 inches longer that the sliders and mocked it in.
then added a foot where the other bolt should be up front for factory buckets.
ill make sure to take some good pics of them in the truck so u can see what im talking about.

I already took the sliders down as low as I could. Thats why I think I was going to use the factory bench brackets bolt in place then build a frame across then I could move the whole seat front to back using the sliders if I get it done the way I think the power option to tilt the bottom up and down but manually move it frontwards. Its ashame most of that idea is a picture in my head I just need time to try and lay it all out. I'm putting my seat in my sons truck and putting this one in mine so his truck doesn't have anything in it so I can use his to mock everything up til I get it done then take mine out and put in his.

well heres the pics as promised.

Thanks for the pics I like the idea but mine also has the center console/middle seat. do you have or are you putting something in the middle? It sure looks like it takes a little work if I hadn't got them so cheap I would have done something else but I like these. Plus they have the seatbelts built in by the headrest.

yea im building a full console with a 10" sub in the back.
also gonna house the amps, My CB, Cup holders, and a storage compartment i hope.
i got these seats pretty cheap.
i paid $75 for both with the factory console.
but im not using it and i sold it for $50 lol.
so i guess i got $25 in these seats.

[JRConnieK10]

Well thats a sweet deal or should I say steal. Lol

Those seats are gonna look good when you get them mounted.

[KoolerSL2]

well they all mounted and wired. man it feels good to have some supportive seats.
now on to the console. got enough room to put in 1 10' sub.
