I've been searching the old posts on bucket seat installation to try and find out how to mount a pair of '62 Super Sport buckets in my '56. I see where somone reccommended the floor brackets (p/n 531391) that Ecklers has to mount the original seat tracks to the floor and wonder if anyone has used them in a tri five. If so did you have to do much modification? Or did you make your own brackets?
Any instructions or pictures of your installation would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for any responses!

im doing this swap in a 57. i got the seats already. . i figured i would use the stock impala tracks and weld studs to the floors and space as needed to level them out. ive done this in my 65 impala when i switched from bench to buckets. works great and easy to put carpet around.
