my 78 Jimmy buckets are in rough shape
so i grabbed the ones from my 89 burb
the base is 16 wide just drilled new holes
jimmy bases are for a flat floor tho
I put the dial on the outside as the jimmy drivers seat dosn't go forward,
but the dial helps lean it when outside

I was going to say they look like the ones in my 03 2500HD crew cab. If I am not mistaken the people that put these seats in cut the back part of the floor pan out and made it flat. I think I also saw where someone had made a custom bracket.

I'll definitely post some pics.....one of my weekend projects is to get my jute padding down on the floor, then install the new carpet. After that may come a custom stereo install....idk.
