I have been looking at putting some A100 buckets in my Belvedere and removing the factory bench. Any of you guys know how much weight I’d be saving? These would have the aluminum super stock brackets and the bench coming out is pretty heavy as I remember. Thanks guys!

Probably save you 30-35 pounds with aluminum seat brackets

Hose.
My 65' front split folding bench seat weighed a whopping 100 lbs complete with mounting brackets and all. The A-100 seats with A-990 aluminum non adjustable brackets will be around 40 lbs complete for the pair. You are looking at a 55-60 Lbs savings with that alone. Hot rod magazine did an article about lightening up a Duster a while back. The A100 van seats weighed 28 pounds each. Split bench is 95 pounds, typical bench seat is 90. Like i said, more like 30-35 pounds total weight loss with two seats and aluminum brackets over the bench

I have been looking at putting some A100 buckets in my Belvedere and removing the factory bench. Any of you guys know how much weight I’d be saving? These would have the aluminum super stock brackets and the bench coming out is pretty heavy as I remember. Thanks guys! Kent Smith has a pair ready to go with the aluminum brackets Give him a call 6785429138
