Converting my 67 S/B from bench to buckets
Just looking for any tips. I'm converting the bench in my 67 to factory buckets. I have a set including brackets from another truck. I have not had a close look but am thinking it's a pretty straight forward swap. Do the bolt hole line up? If not any tips for placement of the bucket brackets? Thanks in advance. Also….anyone have a fuel tank cover kicking' around?

Re: Converting my 67 S/B from bench to buckets
The outer brackets holes will line up with the bench seat brackets but, IIRC, the inner bracket holes will have to be drilled to match. You'll need to attach the brackets to the seats, bolt the outer brackets in, and then mark and drill the inner bracket mounting holes. There may be dimples in the floor that mark the location but I can't remember and don't have any close up pics of my cab floor that might show them. I build a frame out of angle iron to mount my buckets, that goes all the way across to give me a framework for putting in a jump seat and console.
