Seat Bracket Info and Pictures Needed

The previous owner of my jeep installed a bench seat in it. I would like to put buckets back in it. Does anyone have pictures of their brackets that they can post. Also, does anyone know where I can buy some from?

 

Howard,

I like your grid paper behind the parts in the photo of the seat frames. . Way cool. Where did you find it ? Would love to have some sheets for the shop.

Thanks

 

saw your pics. that is a beautiful 69-5! hope my 69 looks as good when i'm done.

 

Thanks for the pictures of the brackets. I have to admit the grid paper is kinda of cool. If you do have some more pictures of the brackets that you could email I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

 

Zed - If you were talking about my CJ5 thanks. It definately looks better in the pictures then in person. Do you have any pictures posted of your Jeep?

 

This is what I did on my 67.. I am close to 300 lbs and if I bounce up and down on seat it doesnt budge, means it should be strong enough for the trail. I just took soime 1 inch square tubing, ran it across, put a brace in the middle and ran flat-stock up, back and under for the back.

yep i was.

i have some below for urls for some of mine, but it now has the steering including column and power box completely out waiting for me to figure out my intermediate shaft and have the front frame horn repaired. the steering conversion from the po kinda scared the folks on this site i'm repairing it now.

if you want some recent in progress pics of it let me know.

if you want to compare notes, let me know. let me know if you want to see more images. you can pm me if you want.

i got a lot of help from the folks here.

 

Howard - Thanks for the pictures and I really appreciate you posting them on a site. I didn't really have any idea of what they looked like or how they mounted before. If I can ever help you out with anything let me know.

 

Jeepnut - Thanks for the idea. I want to go with factory brackets but I save the picture as a backup plan. I don't know how hard finding brackets will be and since I also tilt the scales close to 300lbs it definately is a good backup solution.

 

Zed - That's a good looking Jeep also. The body looks really straight and in good shape. Good luck with the steering conversion. When you get it worked out I would be interesting in seeing how you accomplished it. If there is anything I can help you out with (images, measurements, etc.) let me know.
