Re: Am I missing a seat part?

It is kinda hard to tell from your pictures what I am looking at. If it is for the part that leans forward (seat back), then yes - it looks like you should have a couple of nuts on it.

First 2 pictures, drivers side. 3 picture passenger side.

Hope this helps.

Re: Am I missing a seat part?

Thats it LiL. Thanks for the pics. Very helpful. Seems like the 2nd nut should be a little larger than the single nut on mine. Or, a washer the size of the surface where the nut sits and a small nut that would go through the hole.

You should have a wing nut on the very bottom on both sides

If you have a wing nut on the bottom then the seat back won't lean forward. Mine is a 1968 chevy bench seat.

My 67 came with one factory I figure for it to be easy to remove when you needed to get behind your seat and so you want eat the dash as bad if you wreck???

I see your point!

Thanks, I think I will find a wing nut to put on there. My dash does look kinda tasty but I sure wouldn't want to eat it!!

Re: Am I missing a seat part?

Hey Keith, My 67 came from my Great Uncle whom bought it new but I did remove the passenger side one so if I needed behind the seat I would just have to remove the one on my side and not walk around the truck.

Re: Am I missing a seat part?

Thanks to Tim Christian, Heeroyue2002, and Arl37, I learned something new today. Yeah I would have been in for a rude surprise if I got into a fender bender and the seat goes flying forward. I still only have the lap belts too!

Thank you!

Keith
