Bench Seat Bracket Gurus,... I Need Help

[lolife99]

I thought I had a set of 67-72 bench seat brackets.
Now after looking at them I think they are 73-8? seat brackets.

Does anyone know if there is a difference in seat brackets?
67-68?
69-70?
71-72?

I need a set for my '69 bench seat.

Here's what I have and I'm pretty sure they are 73-up.

Hi lolife99,

I'm not a seat bracket guru by any means but that looks more like a 67-72 bracket than a 73-87 bracket to me.

The 73-87 regular cab floors are humped up under the seat area for gas tank clearance so the seat brackets don't bolt down on a flat surface like the earlier years. And the 73-87 brackets only have 2 bolts each holding them to the floor.

Ive taken alot of seats apart, looks like the right one to me....

Keith.... after talking with you last night, I'm not sure on the seat brackets. Here's a few shots of the ones I pulled, painted, reinstalled on the seat in my old '72. A couple of the pictures make the bracket look like the one pictured above, but on the installed pic it looks different (possible illusion).

Again, this seat came from teeitup and was removed from a '72:

Thanks for posting pics, Nate.
I'm still not sure.

To me the mount sticking up on the left appears to be longer than the one on the bracket I posted.

Kind of on the same note... Anyone know where you can buy the replacement linkage for the slider mechanism? Looks like it takes some specific parts. Thanks...
