I received these seats from FedEx last week and I just put them togehter. To the best of my knowledge I think they have everything but I'm a newb so I'm probably wrong. Is there some sort of center bottom floor bracket for these seats? And, what holds the middle seat up when a third person is riding in the cab? Thanks!!

Looks complete to me. The frame bolts down at the 4 corners just like a bench seat.

Gas tank (I'm not kidding)

FYI, those seats are from a 68 because of the vinyl pattern. Good score

There is also a bolt in the center of the frame that attaches to the floor. A velcro strap holds the center seat-back up to the fuel tank.

Only other factory piece that ccould be made be made is this little metal piece that screws to the back of cab to also let the arm rest be inline with the rest of the seat positions. There was also a vecro tab that connected the seat to the back of cab in the up position.
Otherwise you got it all.

I'm pretty sure that there is a bracket that bolts to the cab to support the center seat back, but I don't have a picture for you. I think Rod has a pic though if you want one. They are pretty hard to find, but not a neccesity.(sp?)
EDIT: You beat me to it Rod! (I'm a slow typer, I guess, lol)

Bracket
 
Does anyone have one of these back seat brackets for sale? There is velcro on teh back of the center seat so the truck it was pulled out of must have it. Anyway, that truck is in Ill. and I am in ND. Just looking for the bracket is anyone has one they are willing to part with. Gotta be complete...you know how it is!!!
