74 K5 Low Bucket driver seat ( need Help )
 
Driver seat has 4 bolts on front of seat where seat bolts to floor , 2 bolts closest to center console ( on rear of seat ) , can anyone tell me what 2 are closest to door ( rear seat bracket on front driver seat ) . Mine has 2 studs sticking up from the floor , but they are not tall enough to go though the seat bracket where it bolts to floor . How do I get threaded studs out ? when I bought it , the seat was not bolted down ? How does a 74 front bucket seat bolt down ?

All the seats should be bolted in from the top.
Having "studs" sticking up only makes sense if the bolt broke, or someone "customized it".

Should be 1/2" Coarse thread If I remember.

Remove the seat and put two nuts on the stud to help remove it.

+1 On PB-Blaster. Spray, soak wait, spray, soak, wait over a couple of days.
(use a breaker bar)

If that does not work (and it should) then apply heat.
