When you put the seats back in, do you install the seats do you install the slide brackets to the floor first and then put the seat on top or, do you attach the slide bracket to the seat and then install all at once. Worried about space to get a socket on the rear bolts which go through the brackets to the floor.
Sliders installed to the seat, set them in and bolt them down. Put the front bolts in first then slide the seat forward to install the rear bolts. Pretty easy job.
Trying to figure out where to place the brackets on the rear. Measurements look like they have to be pretty precise and I don't want to get them welded down wrong.
I'll post my response to your last PM here for now.
I understand what your doing now.
I have a spare set of sliders I can dig out and take a look at and even take measurements and/or pictures of if it will help and you don't mind waiting a bit.

68-71 Vettes have different slider tracks than later Vettes, providing you have the right parts, they bolt on the seat first (with special small head 3/8 bolts) then, like someone said, start the front bolts in first. Then CUSS and SWEAR a bluestreak as you fight the rear bolts in through the carpet fur and bracket misalingnment. Chevy used tapered bolts on the seats for a good reason, it made life easier for the assembly line workers. You should be able to get a 3/8 drive socket onto the rear seat bolts but, it is a tight fit.
