Here're some pics of the seat brackets for my Dodge A990 "clone" as an example. These happen to be aluminum, but steel would work fine. Basically a "C" channel, note the angle cut of the front and back. Sometimes these could be for structural reasons, or clearancing, but also just more pleasing to the eye than square cuts. As far as the bracing on these, especially useful with the aluminum, you could vary it to suit your needs/tastes. You could also do filler pieces at the ends of the C channel to give it a more finished look. Those could be welded in, or bent by the fabricator and just the fold seams welded.
