It's my seat. The bolt that holds the back to the bottom. I've searched my parts catalogs and hardware stores, kragen don't even have it

Try McMaster-Carr. I just got some left hand threaded nuts through them that I could not find anywhere else. Their website is pretty easy to navigate, you just have to know the specs of the bolt.

McMaster-Carr? Looks like it may be a 100 degree flat head machine screw/bolt:

Find the correct size and cut to length, if necessary.

A hardware specialty place might help you. You'll likely have to spend some minimum amount of $$$ if they have it, be prepared to buy some other bolts, etc, if you find one...

Awesome thanks. I'll try that.

From the looks of the other one, there's a lock washer integrated with it? If you have a Fastenal nearby, it might be worth taking the other one out and taking down to the Fastenal to see if they have what you need.

I will state the disclaimer that the ones around here have disappointed me a time or two on what I thought should be a commonly available bolt.

You might also want to consider heading over to the parts board, and find DLTRUCK1973's hardware thread and ask if he has one. I've bought a bunch of bolts and other miscellaneous hardware from Tom.

not to be a smart-ass, but did you check under your seat? Places like that (garage floor etc) usually have them in stock for me, but I don't realize it until I've gone to great lengths to obtain a replacement!

First place I looked lol. When I replaced the carpet I looked under the gas tank and under the sill plate covers too

I haven't done this yet; but it was on my list to put a knob-bolt in that location to make it easier to fold the seatback forward when I need access...

The bolt spec should probably at least a grade 5 though if not grade 8 for crash worthiness

Example photo attached - that is just the general idea - the one shown isn't necessarily the right threads or length..

Pretty funny. Exactly what I was thinking.

Here is the bolt. Good luck. I need one too but haven't been able to find a suitable replacement.

try True Value Hardware

I found some at a local AutoMart. I needed a couple and the guy gave me some for free. They did not have the lock washer on them and they ended up having a hex head. They threaded in perfect. The couple I got don't match the others, but hey, the upholstery goes over them anyways.

With this picture of the bolt, it looks like a standard flat head Phillips machine screw/bolt, not the 100 degree version. Probably 3/8x16

Try Tom @ DLTruck on this site, he has bins of nuts and bolts.

I just checked a 68 GMC I have and both sides have been replaced with 3/8" hex head bolt (9/16" head).

As others have posted a flat head allen cap screw can be found pretty easy at good hardware stores.

Not sure if this is the right length

Ya that's probably what I'll do then. I was trying to find the right one but I'm getting a new seat cover anyways so it won't matter cause it'll be covered up

I found them a ACE hardware, it has an Allen head instead of Phillips but works great.

MSC has all kinds of bolts and fast shipping. I don't remember what size they are but the link should get you close.
