Not sure what it is myself

it mounts to the driver side seat adjustment slider key. the rod that connects the driver to passenger slider seat brackets connects to it. and it retains a spring.

Around here it's tough too find those pieces in the bone yards. Most times the whole track lock assembly can be tough too find.

There's 1 seller on eBay he gets $25.00 each !

Make one, a drill motor and assorted bits, a couple files, grinder ect, unless you would have to buy the tools then you could consider Ebay.

Try Tom at DLtrucks, gold vendor, super nice guy with great parts.

**68bowtie** · 06-20-2016, 09:35 PM

thanks for the advice guys. i'll check with dl trucks. if i can't find one cheap or used i'll make one.

i also realized i am missing a piece from the passenger side. does anyone have a picture of what parts go on that side?

If there's someone with them on Ebay, that's the only place I know. Till I heard that my answer would have been nowhere. I know a truck seat guy, Pete's Seats, and he uses a washer. I'd pay $25 for the correct piece. Does anyone have a link, seller's name, or anything more than "There's a guy on Ebay?"
