Bucket seat bracket problem
Have a problem thats killing me. I saved a 78 (?) (door plate said 1978) Bronco from the crusher and pulled the drivers bracket from it, there was another bracket in the back I figured that it was the pass.
I get home and begin to fit them in my 77 350
The drivers side fits well (only 1 hole) but there is at least an inch difference in the heights (right side is higher)

Alright, the passengers is way screwed up. I figure that it tilts from back towards the front, but there is a 2.75 inch difference in the bottom of the rear section of the bracket, and the fronts are both curved downwards. Did I get the wrong year truck??? Getting dark, camera had a hard time focousing in on it, but you can see the measuring tape and the curved front ends

Is there anyone with pics of what they should look like?
Any help would be great

Bucket seat bracket problem
I mounted a set of 87 cougar seats in the front of my 76 Crew cab what I did was I cut the foot mount off the old front seat I then bolted them down in there stock location I took 3/4"x3/4" square tube and noched it so it was close to even with the top of th bracket i then welded it to the bench feet for the back of the brackets I welded the tube to the top of the feet but I had to step the back runner up so I cut the 3/4" tube and weled another on top of that I then welded the bucket sliders to the new mounts I put a seat in the middle you may want a councule
good luck
