NEEDED - Reinforcement Plates/Panels for Bucket Seats

[JDancoe]

Does anyone have a pair of the floor reinforcement plates that go under the bucket seats for the 1st gen. trucks they would like to sell?
Or, if you have some, and don't want to sell them, could you take a photo and get me some measurements- length, width, thickness, etc so I can make some?
Any help would be appreciated.
PM me or Phone-623-606-8941
Thanks, Jack Dancoe

The originals are stamped channels that are welded under the floor pans. I have installed buckets in three trucks by reinforcing the floor on the top side with a rectangle of 16 gauge metal. I drilled several holes in them and plug welded the plates to the floor. I am getting ready to do another, and am thinking about using panel adhesive.

I have been thinking of making my own plates, as you suggested. Your comment about using adhesive is interesting, because I am also considering putting a coat of DIY bed liner coating on the floor, then bolting and pop-riveting the panel over that while it's still wet. I'm thinking this would stop moisture penetration between the panels, act as an adhesive, and a sound deadener.
Incidentally, looking at the parts catalog, the pieces I was looking for appear to be related to the pivot & latch assy. that allows the seats to lift up & swing forward to allow passengers into/out-of the back seat on club-cabs. Not an issue on my standard cab.
