    I took my seat apart to recover it. It has a bracket that attaches to the seat. I can't remember how it goes together. Would someone upload a picture showing how all that goes together. This is on a standard seat on an 87 Silverado. I have a picture of the seat in the member gallery.
    Thanks!!!

    Sorry no pictures, but your seat rides on whats called sliders or adjusters. Look for the one that has the handle, it mounts under the left (drivers) side. The right side slider is connected to the left via a long metal type wire. These sliders are spring assisted so watch the fingers.
    Hope this helps

    Heres a shot of how the seat tracks go together if thats what you're referring too. This is a bucket seat but the only difference is the wire that goes across the seat is longer on a bench.

    Seat Hindge Bracket

    Once I attach the back of the seat to the bottom. There is a 2 inch bracket that attaches to a bolt that seems to float as the back of the seat is moved forward.The part rest on another bolt I can't remember how the assembly goes together.
    I am looking for another truck along the same model as my truck, so I can see how all the assembly is put together.
    Thanks for you picture of the slide bracket.

    I do not have any pic right now of that part Where the seat folds under the cloth or vinyl covering how it bolts. But maybe some one will .
    If I remember well enough it should be to hard to figure it out when I had one apart . Sorry I could not show a pic but when I did it I did not have a cam then.
