63 C10 seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Being this truck is still in its Honey moon with us , we learn new things every day like last night I could not get the seat back to tilt forward, Did Chevrolet make such a bench seat? for should I go looking for bolts that should not be there? Hmm!

Wondrous things happen here when someone posts a picture of the item they ask about.

The side view of the seat hinge would tell if your seat was near original or not.

I will get on it,, I have to stick on a new lens on the Ole camera phone !

Yep, sometimes the seat back frame gets hung up on the stopper, but it would be easier to diagnose with a photo.

Easier yet... Does your seat have arms and pivots like the picture? (stock config). If so, it should fold forward unless someone modified it.

All 60-66 seats tilted forward. 67-72 seats are almost identical, bolt in 60-66's, but the seat back does not tilt forward 69-72.

I glued on a new camera lens,, for 3.00,, this is what I see,, looks like a second fastener in the brace, and the black upholstery covers the thing

If it were me I would have posted something similar to post #5 above, but that's just me.
By the looks of what we are allowed to see it doesn't look stock.

**botoepfer** · 01-30-2018, 01:30 PM

I will get after it with a few more pictures,,

67 - 68 seats tilt forward too. Looks like your seat is a 69-72
