Restoring Rusty

[TKCR]

I had to find some pictures to duplicate and edit, to show how and where these tracks bolt to the bottom of the seat frames. Now had GM had the weld nuts in all these locations, then the frames could have been used with both the 73-76 AND 77-80 tracks.
1st pic is the 73-76 and their bolt locations.
2nd is the 77-80, and the top bolt is actually under the rail of the frame and under the cover.

Pics for the 73-76. The passenger side does not get a spring.

thank you so much T, that's exactly what I was looking for, so I'm not crazy, there is no matching large spring on the passenger side, and I just spent 4 hours tearing up my garage looking for it? so whats that hole in the rail bracket for?

Lol, sorry you spent all that time for nothing. I can’t say what that hole is for. I have never seen anything attached to it. I thought maybe with the buckets seats, but I looked at some photos, and it’s not used there either.
I’m really impressed with the work you did on your seat, it turned out great! Excellent job
