The PO had placed a newer seat on top of the floor seat frame...he fortunately kept the original bench seat and all the hardware except the adjusting rod. Right now I am replacing the gas tank so I thought I would fix this issue while everythings torn apart. I did a Stovebolt search on this topic and all of the pictures that were posted are now no longer available because webshots and other servers dont allow public access now  so I thought maybe this would be a good time to refresh this topic. I really just need to know how the rod is shaped at each end where it connects to the adjusters. Any pictures would help a bunch! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 42 | DADS50,
Thanks for the quick reply! I saw your pics in the previous postings and I have seen pics of your truck as well...all I can say is you do great work! If I zoom in as much as possible it looks like the rod goes over the top of the adjuster arm and down into the hole. If anyone has any side view shots of the rod ends or more verbal descriptions that would be very helpful too! I know the rod is just under 3/16 thick and I have a piece of stock ready to bend...I'm just hoping to get it right so it works when I'm done. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 264 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 264 | That's great. I was putting in my seat today and couldn't find mine. Don't really think it was there when i bought the truck. This will help a great deal. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 42 | That is just what is needed to re-create that rod...they say a picture is worth a thousand words but in this case a diagram is the right language!
