Bench Seat ???

I'm building a 65 and just scored a bench seat out of a 73-87...
The seat back doesn't lock in the upright position... I believe it is missing the latch and handle but I can't seem to find any repop parts or even a good parts breakdown...
Here are a couple of pics of the driver's side corner... any help will be very welcome and much appreciated...






Thanks Guys!!!

Re: Bench Seat ???

that is an 81 and up seat, there is an inertia lock in there, if you take the plastic cover off you will see it (it only locks when you slam on the brakes). The 73-80 had a handle and were always locked.

Ya see, I always thought the p.o. of mine removed it when he had it recovered. I guess you learn something new every day.
