I have the procars and the brackets. Let me warn you before you buy them. You will be cutting and welding the brackets. They sit about 3" too high. My head was almost hitting the roof. Don't get me wrong, they are nice seats. But, unless you're 5'6, you'll be modifying brand new brackets.

Try these?

I had a similar issue with my 74 C10 and happened to have the interior pieces from my first car sitting in the pole barn: 1989 Iroc-Z seats. I put them on the hump, used the bench seat bolts, and was shocked that they lined up. I'm 6'4 and it worked perfect. Only problem was my right arm didn't know what to do with no console or seat to rest on. I also thought it looked beyond awesome. That was 10 years ago and I can't find any pictures of it. If I stumble across a picture of that setup I will be sure to post it here.

Wow...
Seriously?
The seats were pulled out of an identical truck
With the exception of the seats
One would assume that if the trucks were identical that the brackets welded into the floor would be on the floor of my truck
Thanks ass hat
I'm asking for help
Not a dick to state what I already know
