Seat frame Question.....

[dd1990]

Im not certain but my Burb has a folding armrest on both side of bucket seat, that looks like armrest bracket.

EDIT: Never-mind I just saw a picture of my Burbs armrest, its sits much higher on the seat.

i agree the "hooks" point down and forward and when original probably swung better than they do now, the inertia would be correct.
appreciate all the input and ideas!

I wonder if there's a corresponding notch or something in the seatbelt mechanism down there.

there is a "catch" sorry i dont have a clear pic of it

i am curious why not to many people had seen that.....with 5,000,000 trucks made.....

I've never inspected the reg cab seats under the covers to know what goes on in the pivot area. I will inspect in the daylight now, lol.

Ppretty sure all 73-79 folding bench seats have that. It's on the 3-4 benches I have. I don't know about the 80+ but I can check tomorrow.

Gus threw us for a loop by saying you had a 'burb.

I only know that is what it is because I also did a reupholster of my seat and had the same mechanism on my 85 Silverado K10 and I wanted to know what the hell it was that I was looking at. I kept at it until I figured out the mechanism and the application and when I figured out it was inertia activated, it all made sense what the latch did.

I recovered my seat recently on my 84 K10 and I struggled with that piece as well. I know that it does have a function but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Here is a picture of it before I removed it.

My c10 has it and it’ locks the seat forward if I need to get to storage behind seat.
