Default Seat question - HELP!!!

I recently had a pair of red leather vette seats given to me. I believe that they are out of an '86. These seats do not have any kind of metal structure to them so I need to find some somewhere so that I can put them into my FJ40 Toyota Landcruiser. If anyone can give me any information about how these seats are mounted or where I could find the brackets that I would need, I would appreciate it. Pictures would also help.
Thank you in advance.

You need the seat frames and slide rails for the seat to attach. Belts are bolted to the floors and roll bar. new would be several hundred $$$. Might try a salvage yard, search corvette salvage.

I don't know, but if they are in good shape and you would be interested in selling them i may be in the market to buy.

Try Ebay for the slide rails and seat frames. You might also have some luck at: http://www.corvettesalvage.com./
Good luck.
