We have posted detailed bottom view pictures of OE bucket seat floor pans in several threads on this website over the years, if you have a look at some of these old threads on the subject you will see that there was a fwd cross member brace originally used.

Mr. Koop, just noticed that you never replied back to our above post from a few days ago. Here are some clear detailed pictures taken just yesterday to go with my above reply regarding the 69-72 pickup bucket seat fwd x-member brace marked below @ yellow arrows. We have easily owned, sold and or traded somewhere around thirty to thirty five 69-72 bucket seat trucks and or cabs over the years and am not trying to come of as being an a-hole on the matter, just trying to get the correct info out there after being told by one of your bracket buyers that we are wrong/incorrect because "Roger says a fwd brace was never used on bucket seat trucks".
