Re: The "Hoopty Jr" Project
Sweat'n with the oldies. Got some time on Hoopty today. Finished up my brackets to mount the 92 C1500 bench seat in my 83. I ended up using the stock 83 bench seat brackets and 2 pieces of angle iron. Took a piece of 2x2 angle, cut it to size and bolted it to the back side of the 92's seat. I used another piece of angle (actually a bed rail 2x1.5), cut and mounted it to the front of the seat.
Then I bolted the stock 83 brackets to the floor and slid in the seat. I adjusted it up, then marked the rear angle so I could bolt the stock 83 brackets to the angle. Many, many, many test fits later I got the brackets bolted up and mounted in the truck. I then tack welded the 83 brackets to the front angle iron.
