Stock Seat Location?

I need a little help with seat mounting. I took the aftermarket seats out that the PO had installed and am putting some stock seats back in. While trying to make sure I had all the holes where they needed to be as I'm starting to rebuild the tub, I realized that it originally had a bench seat, and the bucket seat holes aren't there. Could someone take a few pictures of stock front and rear seats bolted in their rig and maybe pull a couple of location dimensions? If someone could help me out with this, that would be awesome.

Thanks;D

This is the only picture i could come up with. I took it when i was bolting in a gun safe that i use for my glove box. By the way it works very well and it fits perfect under the seat.

Cool, thanks a bunch for the pictures. I really appreciate the help. Maybe just a few dimension to help place them

Driver's seat
-from door side of floor pan to left front bolt
-from front edge of floor pan drop off to same bolt

Passenger's seat upper pivot bracket
-front bolt back from where the tunnel goes up
-front bolt over from where the tunnel drops down

Rear bench
-just one from the back of the bed to the rear bolts would be good.

I hope this isn't too confusing, but anything would be better than nothing.

Thanks for the picture, and that is a great glovebox. That's a combination type lock, right? How much did that set you back?

The gun safe is a really great idea. I was looking at one the other day and wondering if it would work. Would you mind sharing details about yours?

The one i got was a GunVault. It is just the standard one. It has a finger keypad that you can program and it has a key incase the batteries go dead. It fits right under my seat with enough room to get your hand in there. You cant see it if you look in the truck. It's great because i no longer have a top on my bronco and i need somewhere to put my stuff when i surf or camp, etc. I bought it for $99 on sale.

Ok, I think I got what youre asking
Front left bolt on driver side: From the door side edge to centerline of that bolt is 6 1/4". From the front edge to the same bolt centerline is 1 5/8.
Passenger side fron left bolt centerline is 2 1/2" from the line where the flat floor angles up and becomes the tunnel. The same bolt centerline is 3" from the edge where the floor drops off under the seat.
In the rear I butted up the edge of the tape measure to the closed tailgate and measured to the centerline of the rear left bolt and that is 22 1/2
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks again. That should do it. I really appreciate the help. Now I just have to get ALL the rust out and start putting it all back together.
