Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Just stumbled across the thread anyone install anymore? Would like to see some more pictures of this installed on a stock bench. Installed new foam from PUI now my head is almost against the roof and getting my leg under the wheel is little snug.:waah:

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Does anyone know if there is a set made for the buckets?

Does it actually move the seat BACK at all or just down? Isn't much room to go back...

A couple more pics

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

I liked these a lot more before they cut the FCF logo into them. I'm not a huge fan of the current trend of laser cutting company logos into everything. Looks cheap.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Bucket seat versions would be great, I'm fairly tall and my head almost sticks above the windshield frame on my 72' Blazer.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

I hear ya there. I could never see through the rear view mirror right. Possibly because of the seat height. I wonder if these can be ordered without the logo.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Hard to tell in the installed pics but do you lose your adjusting slide rail?

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

The only way to adjust is loosening the bolts and push the bench fwd or bwd an inch or so

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Thank you!

I'm also interested in if they will fit that popular conversion. The 90's seat conversion. My bad on fat fingers meant popular not polar. Lol

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Have not heard of polar conversion. It worked for my original bench. I'm going to wait before I decide to take my bench out and cut the foams. I think with a little time the foams will settle and hoping to get one more inch of drop. The 2 inches that it lowers definately made a difference.

Once they are installed it is hard to see FCC logo cut into the brackets unless you are looking for them.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

I have the brackets work very well. On a side note I'm looking for this seat cover for my truck. I couldn't find it last summer when I did my trucks seat ended up with white houndstooth.this is the seat cover I replaced

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

I bought this cover from carsinc.com. Pricey but happy with the quality. They have it in a few colors and uses new old stock cloth.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Would the cab gas tank affect anything. I really want to delete the cab tank. This would be a perfect excuse.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

No not really. The top back of the bench just about touches the back of the cab under the window. Doesn't really affect the fuel tank

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Interesting modification for the bench seats.
The ability to slide the seat forward or back is lost...accessing the jack and handle could be a problem? :hmm:
By the looks of the photo comparing the OE to the new brackets, it looks like you lose half of the mounting bolt positions to the floor and the seat frame?
Is that correct?:confused:

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Yep. Definate downsides.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Not to mention less room for under seat speakers

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Thanks you for the info

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

No problem. They also took probably 8 weeks to get it to me as they make them to order.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Yes you do loss two bolts each side. But that would be for stability of the OEM seattracks. There are downsides but if your head hits the roof and your looking out the tinted band they are negligible.

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

I like the comfort - and for my size, the seat never moves and I have it all the way back anyway..

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Me too. The seat never koves

Re: 67-72 Bench seat lowering brackets ??
 

Another option would be a folding bench seat. I lost the in cab tank so speakers are going behind the seat.
