You really can't beat the price. With the price of metal these days and the time spent to fab something up, you really can't beat it.

I seen this thread the other day and ordered a couple of the racecraft seat brackets and I have to say for 50.00 a side its hard to beat. I'm tall (6'4") and was ale to get the driver's seat low and back far enough for my tastes.

The pass side is a little different and has less adjustment but the pass seat in mine is mostly cosmetic anyhow.

I installed my seats today, took about two hours. Just needs to be finished welded and painted. I used the racecraft brackets (weld-In) Only issue I had was on the driver side with my rocker bar, I had to move the seat inward which made everything very tight.
