So after a long over thought out process I finally have my new seats in. They are the middle row captain chairs from a Chevy minivan. I cut the feet off my old seats and welded these feet to a piece of steel bolting that to the seat. Everything is bolts and I can change out the seats to be any thing I want now. An added perk thease seats fold forward into a table with 2 drink holders built in, they also sit a little higher then the old seats and have a lot better cushion in them making it a lot more comfortable to drive. They also have built in arm rests on both sides so no more rubbing arms to fight for the little console seat.

Nice! Seats look great. Probably my favorite ones I have seen swapped in on here.

Thanks for all the compliments. It was a lot more work then I thought it would be and once I decided to just cut the feet from the old seats it was a lot easier, just have to commit to then and that is what I was having an issue with. Thanks for all the ideas and talking it out as I do not think I would have got it done without them.

The brackets where pretty easy once you cut the feet off. To cut the feet off of a stock seat was a pain as there is a rivet and then their is a spot weld that you do not see and it is harder to get through the the rivet. Used a cut of wheel and a wedge to bend the feet then bent them back into shape after I got them off. I could not use angle iron because of how they attach to the brackets and the feet so flat steel will have to do. I am not to worried because the steel I used is thicker then the steel that the feet and the brackets are made out of.
