my interior is done but the back seat??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

r1lorenzini · 03-03-2009, 06:12 PM

Does it bolt into the floor or am i suppose to get under there and hold a wrench on a nut? is the floor threaded? the interior guys couldnt get it back in very well so I didnt get to see how they took it out? they look like pointed bolts so i am leading torwards the floor being threaded but any help woulld be great.
Also I got a stock console. same question are there holes already there and do i need specific bolts or does it just get screwed to the floor? Thanks guys

Their should be a a metal plate under the bed with 4 nuts welded to it for the 4 back bolts about 4 feet long the metal plate is held up with 2 screws from the top. Their should be 2 nuts welded to the bottom of the bed for the 2 hold down brackets in the front.

If you're truck didn't come with a rear seat from the factory, it may not have the threaded inserts & support for a rear seat. Here's a pick of the rear brackets. Some have 4 across the back with the seat belts bolted to them, some only have two with the inboard mounted seat belts bolted directly to the floor. I don't have any pics of the front brackets, but there were some for sale on the parts board the other day.

r1lorenzini · 03-03-2009, 10:54 PM

yes i have the four brackets across the rear and the two fronts. i also found something i thihnk will work for the front i can take a picture tommoroow

bouncytruck · 03-03-2009, 10:58 PM

If I recall correctly, the console is held down with screws just into the sheet metal. I believe there are 4 screws total and two of them screw into the "ridge" in the floor plan.

bouncytruck · 03-03-2009, 11:06 PM

Here are the bracket that hold the front legs of the rear seat to the floor.

The threaded holes for the seat belt mounts are a different size than the threaded holes for the outside brackets. The seat belt mounts also use a special bolt so the belt mounts can pivot.

r1lorenzini · 03-04-2009, 09:42 AM

thanks mt main concern is the rear

JMac11 · 03-04-2009, 12:41 PM

Pull up the carpet/mat... mine had die cut plugs (sheet metal) over the holes. I have to assume that my back seat was never coreectly installed. The pieces pull up, cleaned the undercoating out of them and cleaned the threads with a tap. I suspect all tubs are stamped and prepped for a back seat.

r1lorenzini · 03-04-2009, 06:24 PM

mine has teh holes already there I guess I can just make a new one huh? Anyone here got the specs or one for sale?

bouncytruck · 03-04-2009, 08:50 PM

This is the only picture I have that shows the mounting points. I'm not sure where I got this picture.

I have been wondering about this for awhile as well. If your truck (mines a 70 Blazer) does not have holes like that anywhere am I right in understanding that it means your truck did not come from the factory with a back seat? In order to mount a seat in the back, would you just have drill your own holes and mounting plates?

Sorry for jumping in this thread, but was just curious to these mounting questions as well. Thanks.

When I put my rear floor in my jimmy the holes in the new floor were in a differant spots so I couldnt use the metal plate that was on the floor of my jimmy I had to use the one that came with the new floor and move the brackets on the seat to line up with the new floor. I dont think my extra one will line up with yours unless you drill new holes and weld new nuts on it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-05-2009, 05:39 PM

Sorry, all I had on me was my Blackberry.

This is the EXTRA piece that I have.

r1lorenzini · 03-05-2009, 05:43 PM
