'69 bench seat tilt bolts

[philB]

Looking at the bench seat (used) with the tilt back, the two bolts that secures the rear to the bench to be able to tilt some, can't locate any ones to use, has standard bolts now and fit too tight for tilt, any info what is correct or where to get a couple. thanks

I'm not sure what the exact size is, but the originals are shoulder bolts.

understand that it's a shoulder type just dont have the measurements, 3/8 thread but looks like the bracket screw hole is counter sunk,
such a small part to make a bigger problem as the custom seat cover will be damaged if the tilt is used, checked with the mail order folks and nobody has anything to offer.
I know someone on the site will have a answer, always, great info here.

Can you post a photo of the seat back hinge? I'm not aware of a factory 69 with a movable seat back.

67-68 seats tilt, 69-72 do not(I'm sure there are a few exceptions)
Plenty of threads about making the mod. Put a (secured)pin through the bolt holes, and perhaps modify the seat covers
See if you like it first, a lot of folks seem to think it's not worth the trouble, YMMV

thanks for all the info, I guess someone replaced the seat with tilts at some time before we got it, we'll figure something out in spare time. not too sure how to get pictures in here but when I do will send some pics.

This thread and the links in it should help you determine if you have a factory 67-72 seat in your truck.

This is the hinge area on my seat...1968.

I bought a bench seat on CL that said it was for a 1966. Not sure. It bolted right in to my 1970 and tilts.
