Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Since I'm on the hunt right now for newer seats with the belts attached I got thinking about floor reinforcements. I was a wrecker opperator for a body shop and hauled in some nasty wrecks. The metal failures I seen were all where there was a weld joint. Most of the newer cars have much of them glued together. Not once have I seen a glued joint failure, or the metal near it. It might be something for those of you who were going to weld 2" supports under the seat bolts to look into something like Fusor. A bit expensive but it's much stronger than welding, won't compromise the floor strength, and great corrosion resistance. We had the big tubes at the body shop but Fusor does have smaller single use sizes that don't need the special gun.
