Factory Bench Seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Were the bench seat tracks the exact same from '67-'72? And does anyone have a good pic of a factory bench seat? This guy says he has a seat for a 67-72, I just wanna make sure I don't end up w/a seat from a different year.

Riveted1, I no longer have my original stock bench seat since re-building the truck but it was my understanding the early 67 & 68 seats would fold forward for access behind the seat. Later years 69 and forward were solid frame with no hinge point. My brother-in-law's 68 GMC folded forward I know but my '71 original seat did not. Others members may chime in with more info. Hope that helps.

Look at the pics in the LMC catalog to get an idea of what they look like.

Thanks guys, that is some good info. It would definitely be nice to fold the seat forward... And I can't believe I didn't think to look in my LMC catalog

Could never hurt for future reference! I passed on the bench I was thinking about getting, just b/c I need some other parts more than I need a new seat. But pics would be great for my reference file!
