Really enjoying your videos Whitlock Garage. I purchased the wrong seat brackets too. Advice for anyone looking to install these brackets. Take the seat out and measure the brackets per the FCF website. They have pics to show you where to measure. I was lazy and tried to measure the seat bracket still in the truck and sure enough, was wrong. I have to say the folks at FCF are great. Very responsive and swapped out my brackets without any hassle. Great folks to deal with.

while the seat was out it would make a good time getting that right door un locked because it would give you a little more room to work before install the seat

Yup, but i knew it was just stuck. We got it open no problem. Didn't have time to fool with door then.
@villageidiot819
@villageidiot819 5 лет назад
Only thing I would add (I just put a pair in) Take a solder gun and melt your carpet around the bolt holes in the floor and run a tap thru them so at least you are not fighting those 2 elements. A ratcheting box end wrench is almost a must to get the bolts tight at the floor.

It's very difficult to get the bolts in from the top, so I put bolts in from below and used them as studs, then used washers and nuts. Just a helpful tip.

Josh Roland if you click the link below they tell you how to, but I ended up measuring the height of the rear part of the original seat bracket. It’s much easier to do, naturally, with the seat out.

Hi I’m a Chevy fan I have a 91 obs n a pair of s10 .. I always wonder y u can’t cut the hump out of the floor. I know it’s more work but u will b able to see way better Y didn’t u fix the door when u took the seat out plus u did show how to tilt the seat back some.
@UNITEDBYTRUCKS
@UNITEDBYTRUCKS 5 лет назад
The purpose of the video was to show the audience how these brackets work. I was on a time crunch and didn't have time to fix the door. And the seat doesn't tilt rearward with these brackets. It simply has adjustability at the base of the seat so that you can move the seat more forward or rearward.

Did the bracket allow you to move the seat back further as well or just lower it? I’ve read that the bracket actually moves the seat forward a little. What are you’re thoughts? I need something that does both moves it down and back. Thanks 🤙🏼

So it looks like you need to remove stock brackets and there is no more moving seat forward or backward with brackets correct?

Correct. But you gain 2” front to back and 1.5” down. It makes all the difference.
