Can you Blazer guys help a truck guy with bucket tilt brackets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need some help with bucket seat tilt brackets. I got my hands on a nice set of tilt brackets that I want to use on my truck, but I'm not positive which way they mount. Can you Blazer guys tell me what way the front tilt brackets go on. Thank you for your help.

I'm pretty sure they go like this.

My only knowledge is of utility seats, but, I think it depends on your seat frame mounting holes. Can you take a another pic of the seat frame I might be able to look at it and answer your question

I'm picking one up tomorrow that has sport buckets I'll get some pictures. It may take me a day or so.

Someone out there must know the orientation of the passenger tilt bracket. Here's a couple more pictures of the seat bottom and tilt brackets. As mentioned in my first post, I think that picture shows the proper orientation, but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.
