Threaded bosses for the lap belts
 
Anybody have a pic of 72 Blazer rear seat lap belts where they bolt to the threaded bosses ? Did they have covers ? Thanks.

So this is incorrect? Having this seat recovered and upholsterer says bolt/belt can't be removed if flaps are sewn in?

I've had 71 seats like that and the assembly manual shows it that way also.

Just so I'm not confusing anyone, I don't remember how the other years were installed Just the 71s. I've had a lot more that the seat belt wasn't covered by the upholstery.

Harry yours is setup like the 1st pic in this thread. I have a couple seats out of a 72 this way and just sold and older seat that everything bolted to the rear feet or floor. I "think" it was mainly due to seat with either 2 feet or 4 feet on the rear

All 3rd row suburban seats regardless of year had 4 legs and belts bolted to each leg.

What you said in not exactly gospel. The first Blazer I posted is an unrestored St. Louis '72, with what appears to be the totally original interior.

Also, my '70 has seat lap belts bolted to all 4 legs, and I know the rear seat is 100 percent original to the truck. Will post pics when I can get to it..

Here is an unrestored 1969 with belts bolted to all 4 legs:

I have had several 72 suburbans with 3rd row seats and only 2 floor brackets. Here is one I have sitting here now.

My early 72 Flint Blazer (September build, double-wall, and speaker under A/C controls) has the same "71" seat pointed out here. The outer right and left "male" belts are bolted under the flaps of the sewn seat cover, and the cover has to be taken off the access the bolts. The center two belts are attached to two middle legs, just like the first picture above in post #2 by 1970cstblazer.
