Does the passenger seat back assembly "hook" at the top and fasten with two bolts at the bottom? I need to remove it from the cab for the media blasting and can't see back there.

Thanks
Thanks again to all. I still hope to have everything blasted and painted by summers end. Then, rewire and reassemble over the winter. My only dilema is the tail gate. It's bent several ways and I have no way to straighten it.

Post a pic, with all of the brain power here, we might be able to give you some advice/input on your tail-gate.

Can someone post a picture of the top clips for the passenger seat? Mine don't exist and I will need to deal with that in a month or two.
Thanks,
Bert

I'll make an effort to get out in this heat and take a pic of mine, I will need to remove said cushion. I have one original and one house/home made.

Passenger Seat Pic's
101 degree's as I type!
The first one is stock, the other is one I made from a conduit clamp and self taping sheet metal screws.
At some point, I will go back and create a new one with all of my newly developed or re-discovered skills.

I had the seats out of my M37cdn. You could see the 1/4' bar that goes from bracket to bracket on the top, the two humps are where the support brackets go. Then on the back of the cab I held a pointer at the bracket. I should have moved to the right to get both brackets in the picture. Hope this helps.

I had a buddy stop by and give me a sample of the bracket (see picture), I will set up my brake press and fabricate some of these in the next couple of weeks.

This looks tighter than the one I have, I guess the tighter, the closer to the back? If you making a few, I would like to purchase one if it's possible?

No problem Bruce, it will be a couple of weeks before I get to it. I have to make extras for the guy that lent me his bracket.
