Need Help with Seat mounts for various years.

[FJsnoozer]

I am ordering pro-car seats and I am having issues finding the bracket for the 77.

They state that it does not use the same bracket as the 75 and that it will require a one piece bracket to support both the driver and passengers seat. My truck is stored in a different town, but I seem to remember it being the same as a 75.

I appreciate any input so I can order this today. At this point, I am considering just fabbing up my own bracket and then having that powder-coated black when I get around to it.

Thanks,

Davis

THANKS! I remembered seeing that pic somewhere. So I assume the 74-75 Brackets will work.

I just ordered seat from Summit. I am going to Fab brackets for the time being. Father has a wire feed welder and plenty of angle and square tube steel. If I like them, I will of course powdercoat and post pics in the Start of my build thread.

Be sure to measure the seat height of your old seats and mount the new ones as close to that as possible or you will be looking out of the top of the windshield with trouble getting your legs under the steering wheel. Good luck!

Old seats are decentigraded with rusted tracks. I'm short and Fit, so it wont bother me.

Seat is here! Ups dropped it off this morning at my office. My receptionist let me know that my "gym equipment" had arrived.

This seat looks great. I am very impressed and surprised at how small of a box they were able to fit it in. The entire seat reclines about 160 degrees and is in a 40"x20"12" box.
