I have received some seats (thanks eBay Nessy). And am needing some help to make a center pivot for the seats. Can someone with a 964 cab take a few pictures of the hinge points of the back seats. I need some details of the center pivot including the lock position holes. BTW, the seats I got are the lower pin locking type

This is from a 91 cab

Perfect pictures, thanks. Could I ask that you take the width measurement of the pivot? It looks to be maybe 7/8" wide. This will set my seat spacing.

I'm attempting to located the outer pivot points for the seats, behind the carpeting in the back area. These threaded points are more difficult to locate than the seat belt hardpoints. Can anyone provide me with some measurements so that I can locate where to start to cut through the carpeting. I have a 1991 cab, and came factory with the parcel shelf / rear seat delete option, so they carpeted over the hard mounts.

Is this what you are looking for?
The piece the locks go into between the seats is about 3/4". It hard to measure as it is rounded at the top and
the battery is dead in my digital micrometer

perfect. Thanks for using a reference point like the seatbelt anchor so I can measure. I bought a bracket from my local dealer. It isn't the same as yours. Mine is more square and not rounded. Bit it fits!

So I dry fit the seats with the bracket I ordered in from the dealer. The backet must be for a later model as it is square, it causes the seats to lean too far forward, and it looks to be a pain in that I'd need to pull the pin any time I love the seats (with the bracket I think I SHOULD have, the pin would ride on the side of the bracket until it engages in the open locking hole).
I am posting a picture of the backet and the dry fit. Oh also, I took the 6" measurement from the seat belt mount and found a lump. I cut, dug, and found a plug. I removed the rubber plug and..... a big hole. No mounding hardpoint for the screw to tie into. Oh well. PErhaps the mig welder will be of use after all.

After this long-winded reply, can I ask jimq to take a photo of the seats in the upright and down position. I'd like to know what I'm expecting it to look like. Particularly, do the seats rest against the back (likely not). The cab top must need room to fold in behind them. Do the seats lay parallel to the back in the upright position? In the down position, what are the seats resting on? It appears that they rest only on the center hump and not on the outside. Guess you don't want to load up the seats with heavy stuff in the down position.

jimq

They rest on the center hump and the top of the seat belt

Jim,

Are you showing me the distance to the back wall, or am I seeing that your cab roof is down and this is the distance to it?

jimq

the back wall. My seats have about 3/4 inch play at the top in other words you can rock then back and forth a bit. I tuck the top cover down behind the seats when its on.
