Fixed all the photos. Now I am upset with at PhotoBucket all over again.

I basically made them work. I took a hole saw and cut a hole where the body mount bolt goes. I then used a shorter bolt so the nut was not sticking up into the bed area. It is a recessed nut and bolt. Now the brackets will work. I will take a picture to show you what I had to work with.

my '71 has the same setup you describe. I had to look at it a while to figure out how the seat bracket and the body bolt work in that area. I will be taking that apart this winter to replace the body bolts and will take pictures. I kept chasing a squeak in the seat bracket and discovered it was a rusty body bolt. mike

I used a 5\64 roll pin and machined a small step bushing from aluminum and filed a grove in it for the roll pin to set in.

The ones I just picked up for my 1970 have a very small cotter pin that goes through a small hole drilled into the pin. This cotter pin retains the washer and the spring. You first put the the spring and the washer in the space between the two holes and then insert the pin through the holes and spring. Then you insert the cotter pin through the hole to retain the washer and spring - so it does not pop out. Hope that helps. My 1966 does not have the cotter pin. It looks like the pin was crimped at the factory to retain the washer and spring rather than use a cotter pin.
