1st gen jimmy rear seat mounting hardware

[Cadden]

what bolts or other hardware do i need to mount this seat?

I think my seat uses carriage bolts like the ones in your floor. The front of my seat just has a bar 'foot' so I added a small U bolt (drilled two holes in the floor) to hold down the front of the seat as well.

Yeah sure.. be back in a few...

OK my rear seat only has two 'mounting feet' at the rear, no center feet like yours.. Like I said I added the little U bolts to the front bar legs.

When I bought the rig in '93 that is the seat it came with. I do not know if it is factory 1972 or what?

Thanks for the pics. Yea I've seen both styles with 4 feet and 2 feet out of the vehicle (mostly seats for sale) but I'm not sure what the difference is, mines a 70 so maybe that's all?

Hey, while your there, I wonder if I could get you to snap a picture of the fuel line right around the area where it connects to the sender and runs up the frame
When/if you have a chance.

I can and would.... but all that stuff is gone as I put in a stump pulling 454 with Edlebrock MPFI that and I have an aftermarket 41 gal fuel tank... the company was called North West Metal Products... Up in the Pacific North West with you .. Oregon I think!

Butt I did leave all the factory fuel line breathers and other junk up in there… they did some crazy charcoal canister stuff back then.... and that weird 3 hose pipe that goes no where back by the fuel fil hose....

 

[Burt4x4]

I'll crawl up there and see what's left...

 

[Cadden]

41 gallons would be nice! I'll have to look into that.

 

[Burt4x4]

Here is my tank.. Plus a homemade Skid!!

The Factory BS I no loner use

Nice. So 41 gallons?

 

[Burt4x4]

Northwest Metal Products use to make/sell these tanks but I looked them up and there site no longer has anything automotive related on it, so? I found an old post here via google and I said 37 gal back then, so I might be mistaken about the 41.. still way better than stock 21 gal. Sometime around 2000-2002 is when I bought it from them...

This is what i had to make to connect my fuel tank. The tank was new but came from LMC truck and required using the old neck. I was about to order a tank from brothers trucks before I came up with a long piece of fuel flex hose ad an exhaust elbow to connect everything

 

[Cadden]

My jimmy didn't come with an oe gas tank, just the new one my uncle ordered. He was confused on why the neck was so weird and didn't line up. the previous guys had removed the OE tank and made some funky steel one that rusted out that my uncle removed and tossed before with got the jimmy

Here are a couple of pictures of my LMC tank with the stock neck brazed on and the 3/8 line leaving the sender/pickup unit and heading up the frame. The lines with the blue caps are the 5/16 line
for the evacuator canister.
