Bucket Seat Tutorial

[Torrey]

TERRY, thank you for the write up.. & pics. I do have a question(s) about the seat mounts - you made? in the pic it shows each bracket mounted with 4 holes. did you "just drill" the inner mount holes (each side of the tunnel)? or are there "dimples" indications for the holes? I am wanting to do similar for my '86 C10....

thank you for the time & keep us posted of the truck..

I "just drilled" after a lot of double and triple checking measurements. No dimples to make things easy!

Super nice work ..

I'm also a fan of bucket seats ..

My truck didn't have a lot of room for seats and a console ..
The seats I choose to use came out of a 97 full size Chevy pickup, reason was being kind of large they offered a great deal of comfort and allowed for 6-way power bases to be used ..

Had to delete the console, no room for one ..

If anyone needs the console, I still have it ..

Did find enough room to build a ported sound box for a 12" Kicker Subwoofer ..

Found the power units on eBay, the seats I bought didn't have power ..

Adjustable Lumbar support is a huge plus ...

Many years ago, I had the old GM swivel buckets in a 79 C10. Fabricating the brackets was a pain, but it all worked out really great

I used SloshTubz' seat base and sliders to mount some '04 Subaru WRX STI seats in my truck and then built a custom console for it. Still need to finish the console

SQUAREBODY UNIVERSAL SEAT BASE FRAME | Store | Slosh Tubz

This is a Universal mount that bolts in the original seat bolt holes and allows you to add a variety of different seat options to your truck. picture of seats frames is for a visual of what you can do to the base (we sell the complete set up with frames also but this is just for the base) made...

Had to do some slicing and dicing cuz the original seat mechanism has a weird mechanical jacking function that makes the seat go up as well as forward. Cut all that out and used some angle iron to bolt everything together
