Rear Seat Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 12:18 PM

Hello all, New guy here. I just bought a 71 Jimmy CST and the Brackets to hold the rear seat are missing. Any ideas where I could get a set. I bought some off the Web and they dont appear to be the correct brackets. At least from looking at pictures from other trucks.

First off… Welcome to the board and congrats on the new jimmy. You should post some pics!

There are 4 bolts in the rear of the seat and 2 bolts / 2 brackets in the front.

Attached are a few pics of the brackets.

If you have a paid membership you can post a want to buy at in the blazer parts section.

Guess im not sure how those bolt up. All the pictures im finding they look much taller. I bought those brackets that you have the picture of. Here is a pic of the truck.. I got a great deal on I dont think he knew what it was worth and only rust I can find is drivers rocker panel.

Nice truck! The bracket just lays on top of the front bar and you bolt it down. Is your rear seat original?

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 01:42 PM

So those mount in the Front? What about the rear of the seat? I think its the factory seat.i guess Im not really sure. I thought I was worth the 5000 I spent.
Only had to drive 1800 miles to get it lol

Tuff Gong · 07-15-2016, 01:45 PM

Definetly worth it. Yes the brackets hold down the front bar. 4 bolts hold down the rear of the seat.

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 01:49 PM

So are these brackets part of the seat?

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 01:50 PM

Yes there are 2 holes in the front.

preciador6 · 07-15-2016, 02:01 PM

And 4 in the rear

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 02:06 PM

Yes need the 4 for the Rear. any ideas? Not to many pics on the web. But thinking im missing more that just those for the rear seat? Not really sure

Tuff Gong · 07-15-2016, 01:48 PM

Do you have the two holes in the floor for the front brackets? I don't see them in the picture but it's hard to tell

Tuff Gong · 07-15-2016, 02:11 PM

The 4 in the rear are bolted to my seat. Again I would try the parts board

Tuff Gong · 07-15-2016, 02:14 PM

No problem. I will post pics of the rear brackets. I actually thought they were part of the seat

NRFD79 · 07-15-2016, 02:26 PM

Awesome... Thanks again

Bigdav160 · 07-15-2016, 02:36 PM

Hinge bracket? Probably a square body rear seat
