We formed a piece of metal strap to that hump in the floor and then cut the brackets on the new seat to fit the strap. I don't know if it's helpful but here is a link to a thread with pictures. I think the same thing could be done for your seats, rather than fabricating all new brackets.

Thanks again for the link I wasn't able to see the picture due to me being at work but I think I understand what you did, I honestly have the crazy idea to maybe try and even do it for my truck, it seems fairly simple overall its just a matter of getting it done. I might have to see if you could help me do it. Because the way I understand it could even be done is just slice off some of the the new seat and then take my old brackets and then weld them together of course that's easier said than done but we'll see going to take some brainstorming that's for sure.
