They are in the attic of my garage. I can but not at the moment. Perhaps a web search would get something now. I'll try to do it for you since I will recognize them.

No problem. A stock seat would be best but you could convert something else to the stock brackets. I have the stuff to do it. I am going to sell it, but not for those insane prices in that auction. Like I said, try to find the correct seat if you can and it will be a simple bolt with correct seat height.

I already let a bench seat from a 56' slip out my hands so I don't want this seat to go either , even though it's about 2 hours away I'm willing to pick it up, especially since the bucket seats I have are horrible. Ill ask the guy to send me pictures tomorrow that way I can post them here and show you to know if their the correct ones. Is there any chance you're selling your stock bench seat ?

I have an electric Caddy seat in mine. Not quite sure what it is out of. Mid 80's at a guess. It is quite large, as in, has a lot of padding for the back and very comfy, but takes up a lot of cabin space. If you have standard foot controls etc, that might be an issue with being cramped.

You'll find the correct seat eventually. A good frame and brackets anyway. Upholstery work is very expensive. That is often the reason you see all these guys installing other seats. If you have to, pick up one of the seats mentioned in this thread for $25 while you are looking for a stock seat.

I have some caddy buckets and their not alligned right, and I heard to stay away from caddy bench seats because their usually overstuffed
