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

Don't get all riled up it was a tongue in cheek comment. People who are putting buckets into trucks are using custom made brackets. There is NO stock OEM brackets anymore and if you do find a set they are as rare as a unicorn.

The inner bracket can also be easily cut out of a donor vehicle and welded in to the floor where buckets are going to be installed. That was the process when i switched to buckets in my suburban.

Most people including myself make our own brackets as its far cheaper and easier.

The Burb inner floor brackets work in a pickup too. If no donor vehicle can easily be located, the brackets can be fabbed up without much trouble.

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.

So I'm 6'1", and if I had not altered those brackets and lost the sliders, there's no way I would be able to drive that thing without feeling like a tool. My head was a literally an inch away from the roof and my legs were slamming into the bottom of the steering wheel. I had to lift my leg over the steering wheel to get in. After putting a smaller-diameter steering wheel, and getting rid of the sliders I sit about stock height now.
