My daily driver is an LS swapped '72 C20 Suburban. I just ordered a set of custom upholstered Cobra LeMans seats to replace the front bench. I'm curious how you guys with C10 race trucks are mounting buckets in the front. I know Corbeau and TMI both offer full width brackets that accept two buckets and sliders, but I'd prefer the space between the two seats to be open as I dont plan or running a center console.

Appreciate the input!

Mine (not done by me) are simply bolted through the floor. They are actually solid but not a great idea. I am just going to weld a plate under the floor to reinforce the areas where the mounts are.

On my C10 project before I finished the floor pan paint I placed the seats and drilled the holes. Then I took pieces of 1/8" sheet metal about 2" square and welded it to the bottom of the floorplan and drilled thru the 1/8".

I drilled holes through the floor, and used these
