tilting bench seat?

Just stripped out my 67 bench and realize they dont tilt forward to access rear. I guess wasnt necessary back then since it was the gas tank, but i would like access to behind seat since i am moving gastank and would like to put airvalves and speakers back there.
Did any other years have a tilt bench or has any one modified one??

Re: tilting bench seat?

See if theres a butterfly nut on the side of the seat.drivers side I think. Theres a threaded bolt that keeps the seat from folding foward
