Driver's seat parts/mechanism help
 

Does anyone know of a good thread that explains or shows how all of the parts should go together underneath the driver's seat for the spring/slide/release mechanism? My 72 has the original seats, but those parts (or what was left of them) were in a coffee can. I'm sure I'm missing something, just not sure what. Thanks.

Don't know if any of these help.

If you're stuck, I can take a picture of my seat mechanism.
FWIW, I have utility seats which will be somewhat different than the buckets.

Thanks. I was referring to driver's bucket seat. Unless the mechanism is essentially the same as the bench?

Maybe this diagram will help?: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...6&postcount=26

I wasn't searching the parts board, when I did I found these photos. It looks like there is a latching mechanism on each side with small springs, and then a large spring front to back, as well as a small spring for the handle/release. Some of these parts were being reproduced by a member, but no longer are. So at least it seems I know what I should be looking for, I guess now the question is does anyone make these now? I may have a few of the small parts but probably not all, and I know I don't have the large spring.

Not sure if you're capabable of accurately measuring those parts, but if you can I could make a DXF drawing of it and post it here. This way anyone that needs those parts can easily get one water or laser cut just about anywhere.
