Bench seat rattling
The bench seat is driving me INSANE!!! It rocks back and forth just enough to go cluk cluk! And the springs squeak. Seat has been rebuilt and is firm. What have you guys done with the tracks?? Does anybody make these? Can I use newer body style tracks with modifications?

Re: Bench seat rattling
ttt...
Yes, there's some guys that have installed other seats and brackets and made them work. What I don't know is which make would be the best fit. I would first check yours out to see where it's loose. Have someone sit on the seat and push back and forth while you look under it (if it's possible). It may be something as simple as a spring missing to hold the locking part in place or maybe a bolt that is loose and can be tightened back up. If it's broken it can be rewelded. The squeaking spring is another story. You probably will have to dismantle and spray with WD40. Back in my day, squeeking truck seats was the norm. Just about all of them had a squeak somewhere. As far as I know there's no one making the brackets aftermarket. You might try the parts for sale or post a want to buy to see if someone has a set they will sell. |

I had figured this out before. It has alot of play at the actual locks that release and lock the seat from sliding. So it's not loose rather a sloppy fit. Im sure it was like that from day ONE |
