I have 3 rear seats that I brought out of storage I need help with trying to identify; basically I am pretty sure the blue one is out a 76 era, the middle is out of a 1st gen (maybe?) and the tan one is out of ? when did the fold down seat start. also is a Qualitex bench that has the fold down center section that I took out of 1982 K5 and the last pic is some seats I took out of a K5 on some homemade aluminum mounts

middle seat definitely looks to be out of a first gen k5
 
1st blue is a full vert 2nd get. The flat front brackets indicate it’s the floor that goes up to the back of the front seats. Middle looks 1st gen. You have all 3 rear seat setups there.

Middle 1st gen
Blue front 2nd gen
Tan rear foldable from 3rd “generation” rear setup.

thanks for the replies. when I got out of the Army in 1995 I stored some stuff at my dad's dad's place in a shed. then when I moved back to my hometown in 1998 from Fort Worth I stored some more. over the years it has been broken into and I am unsure what all was taken. my mom is selling her half of it to my cousin and he called and asked if I wanted any of this stuff, I told him yes, he said he would just haul off for scrap, I told him again I wanted it, he said again he would haul it off, so I told him I would be up there that day to get what was left.
if I could go back 40 years I might tell my younger self not to be such a hoarder or to at least secure it better.

I believe the floor plan changed in 1977 so the first seat is 1976 and down
second is out of a 1972 K5 I had at one time; used to drive it around FW with no top, no doors, on an 8" Skyjacker lift and 3" body lift and 39.5 Swampers. good memories.
and the third is 1977 and newer

and according to eBay; these things are gold :D
 
They are indeed gold. Especially if they are in good shape. Lol. I have so many things stored now and no where to go and I’m full. Now that I’m getting older I need to start thinning things out now that I’ve had to go through family members things when they die. I don’t want my kids to have to do the same and not know what to do except dump them.
 
The blue plaid seat is from a '77.
The tan (folding) seat is '78+.
The gray bucket seats I believe are 80's Astro van or G-van. *edit* Most likely G-van since they don't seem to recline.
