Default How to install chevy bucket seats?

I recently picked up two very nice bucket seats out of a wrecked 99 chevy 2500, and was wondering how to install them, if any of you has done anything with seats before maybe you could help. I need to find a center flip down console also but i can live without it for a while. I was thinking maybe i could make some kind of frame so i can use the stock sliders abd not have to drill holes or weld to the truck. Any help would be awesome, thanks guys.

i have a friend who took two seats and the center console out of a wrecked 06 f-250 basicly he took the stock mounts and welded them to a piece of steel plate and then bolted them right through the floor board using smaller pieces of steel on the otherside to really hold them in it doesent really look pretty but once he put new carpets in you could never even tell that its didnt look good

With something that radical you are gonna have to start pretty much from scratch. That would mean pulling out the stock bench and throw them in there just to see if they will even fit the way you like at all. Go from there, fab up brackets, spacers whatever to get them bolted down. Make sure to mount them solidly for safety.
