I just got two 1997 ford benchseats from craigslist for free. I have a 77 chevy van that I want to use them with. where can I get the mounting brackets?
Salvage yard would be easiest. Or any conversion van shop should have a bunch of takeouts. The brackets simply bolt to the floor. Just be sure you have suitable backing support below the floor pan.
CVCandMore in LA does hundreds of vans a year, and they do not reuse the brackets when they upgrade the vans to captains chairs.
