Are all bench seats supposed to lean forward?
I can't get the bench seat in my '69 to lean forward, so I can install my factory jack in the space it's supposed to go. I suppose I could try sliding the seat forward on the track, but I'd prefer it if it just leaned forward. Is there some trick to doing it?

My 68 has wing nuts you have to remove to get it to lean forward.

Re: Are all bench seats supposed to lean forward?
So why did Chevy design a bench seat that makes it so hard to get to the jack behind the seat?

Sliding the seat is the acceped access proceedure. Its really not that hard to do with the seat back at the forward posititon.

Re: Are all bench seats supposed to lean forward?
Thought you might be interested in the differences.. Green is 68, black is a 70.

Re: Are all bench seats supposed to lean forward?
Seat backs that flipped forward were a safety concern in an accident. Two door cars went to seats that had a latch mechanism for the backs about the same time as trucks went to fixed back seats.
