I'm not sure of that. As I mentioned in my post above, I've removed a few sets exactly like those shown in post #1 from 69 and 70 A-body cars. They were riveted to steel plates, and the plates were riveted to the lower front edge of the bench seat frame. Both front and back seats. They definitely appeared factory installed. Does anyone know for a fact if the design was changed after the 68 model year? I've also seen the older style in Leddzepp's post shown in the assembly manual, but GM did not always update the pics. It's hard to believe GM would have made both types at the same time.
