What is this seat out of???
I bought this seat from a fellow board member, I liked it because it was not a fixed back. I have a rear gas tank and want to access behind the seat easily.
Anyway when I bought it he did not know what year it was from. It fits perfectly in my 71... I want to order pre made covers for it but I want to make sure they will fit. Any help is appreciated!

Re: What is this seat out of???
I may be wrong- but that looks very much like a seat out of a '73-'87.

Re: What is this seat out of???
I agree with the '73 & up idea. If you look, you can see what appears to be the latch that releases the seat.

Re: What is this seat out of???
By the condition of that seat cover and the fact that the backside is covered, points more to a '73+ seat to me.

Re: What is this seat out of???
Well I went ahead and removed the seat back cover and all I found was a black widow, no tag .
I'll take the base off later today when it's not so hot out side.

Re: What is this seat out of???
You have a 73 and later bench seat with earlier 69-72 bench brackets.

But I think you are right after looking at it again, there are some non factory looking bolts holding the front of the tracks to the frame.

Re: What is this seat out of???
Speaking of those black metal tags....
I wonder what the time frame is, from the manufacture of the seat cushion/spring ass'y, to the time that a given truck is assembled? The tag on my '69 says 9-10-68. If that is anywhere near the time my truck was built, I'm happy to know that at least part of it was built the week I turned 21 years old....on the island of Taiwan.....before Trickey Dick was elected.

Re: What is this seat out of???
I agree. For the record, the seat tilt lever knob and pin is just like the one in my 76 GMC. I think they were that way from 73-80. The brackets themselves can't be from a 73+ because they would make the seat sit much lower. If you look at a 73-87 floor pan, they are raised under the seat to accommodate the saddle fuel tanks underneath them. Interestingly enough, it looks like it is covered with 88-94style material.

Re: What is this seat out of???
After looking again, I think I am wrong about the covering material...hard to tell.
