Are these original brackets for front of rear seats? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Or just something that the PO rigged up?
I'm getting ready to sell my rear bench seat. I know the four brackets for the back of the seat are original. Not sure about these.
Thanks.

No, those are not O-riginal. They look like conduit clamps? Scary none the less. I wouldn't trust them to do any thing other than bend and let the seat slide forward.

Scary at best.

Seat couldn't slide forward due to the rear brackets but could flip backwards if you got hit from behind.
Folks in the back seat would take a different kinda ride all together.

70rs/ss is correct, those do look like conduit clips. Exactly the same as the PO used on my blazer. They are not safe. I am lucky as the rusty originals were included in a spare parts box. They cleaned up nicely.
