Rear seat latch

[kelliel1972]

Hi there - I bought a 77 K5 that that had the rear seat taken out. i am trying to put it back together but I am missing the latch points that bolt into the back. I found a picture on the internet. Does anyone know where to get these latch brackets at?

Anybody seen these before or am I hallucinating?

I'm going to say they don't belong. 77 rear seat is a direct bolt in, no latches.

Also, looks like the seat is pretty far aft. I don't know about the early Blazers, but in my 88, the seat is very close to the dropoff since that's where your feet go. My seat would latch to those except my stock latch bars are sunk into the floor.

What I'm getting at, is it looks to me like possibly someone took a seat from a later K5, mounted the seat a little farther back and used those hoops to get the latches to work.

I own a '77 Blazer and the rear seat is a direct bolt to the floor with a bolt at all four "corners". Not exactly in the corners but one bolt down pint in the frontside for left and right and matching bolt pints on the rear side. The seat sits slightly forward of the rear wheel wheels. I don't not have those "latch" locations like in your posted photo. Hope this helps.
