Just make sure you check under the truck before you drill so that you dont hit anything. Also make sure you have the seats level and exactly where u want them. I put mine in temporarily using wood blocks and then i sat in both seats just to makes sure.

I have original buckets from a 78 Bronco that I'll be putting in my 79 but the passenger bucket is non adjustable meaning it's in a fixed position. The only thing it does is there is a lever at the back that tilts the seat forward for easy access to the back seat in the Bronco... I find that weird that it won't adjust forward or back..
