My parts trucks are the same. 82+87.

The seats will not recline back any further than the stop bolt, that the seat back rests on. The 81-87 seats, also do not lock back. The seats prior to those did, the 73-80. I attached a couple of pics, to show what it all looks like underneath the hinge cover.
The 1st pic shows how the seat back rests on the stop bolt (the silver bolt). What your feeling that is moving freely, is the hinge bracket.
In the 2nd pic, it is the part that is off the seat now, laying there.
To be quite honest, that part is useless, it does nothing but hang there.
