Jimmy what's involved in bolting up factory buckets into a reg cab? I want something that I could do fairly easily.

your going to need to get the brackets too....Other than that you are going to have to drill 4 new holes for the inside brackets and voila. Bucket seats

So if I get the seat brackets with the buckets just pop em in and some holes will line up then just drill the rest?

Im pretty sure if you get some out of a pickup it should be that simple:D

Yeah, Jimmy knows what he's talking about. I got my seats out of an 88-94 pickup, with a 95+ console for 195. I think I got a good deal, but they were pretty dirty, and I think I'm just gonna get them recovered. I ended up getting a different bracket for the passenger side, but the ones included will work fine. It's a pretty easy install. Only have to drill 4, maybe 5 holes for the seats and four holes for the console. Just remember the seats are holding your butt into the truck, so you need to use good bolts, washers, etc.

Mine are from a 2001 Z28. I think I paid $225 or something like close. The driver's seat is power. I love having the buckets. You can see a couple pics of them HERE (http://www.cardomain.com/id/91_bowtie) :D

you could do what i did. i bought the seat adapters and seat frame from summit racing and bought a couple of jeep seats and a nice console and bolted the seats and console to the frame and bolted the frame to the factory truck seat holes via the adapters with no drilling or mods at all. only cost me about 300 for the whole setup too. if you want chevy seats i suppose u could take the lower mounting bracket off the bottom of the seats and just drill new holes in the seat frame. but either way it elinates drilling into your truck floor.
