Sierra seat subframes?

[jazzymonkey]

Hi, quick question about seat subframes. On my BMW i fabricated some by butchering some old seats and fabricated some box section to hold it all together and strengthen it. I have removed the subframes from the old seats and was going to do the same but it looks like this method will not work on this car because of the strange mounting points. And if i did a similar fabricating job the seats would sit far too high! I am 6'2.
What options are there for mounting bucket seats into my Sierra?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I've just seen this.

I had a similar thing with my XR4x4 and ended up taking everything out of the car, having a really good measure up and work out where you'll be comfortable in the car. It's awkward but get the bucket seat mocked up with you in it, and try shuffling the chair back and forth until you get the position about right. Oops, should have told you to get a marker pen first!
You need to mark the floorpan where the front of the seat comes up to and then get out of the seat and, in turn, out of the car.
From there, it should be easy enough to fab up some brackets using mild steel L shaped angle and weld these to the the floor.

I'm 6'5" and this technique worked for me. In fairness I should add that I cocked it up and then got APT to do it properly for me afterwards :thumb:
