73 seats
Hi, went to install my seats, and the floor only seems to have 3 holes on each side (driver and passenger) it has 2 holes for the front seat tracks but only one hole for the back side of the track, there are no outer back holes on either side, not sure if the body shop filled them in or if that's just how it is?? The rest of them seem to have that metal reinforcement plate, but there is no hole or plate on the outer rear (the side towards the door)

Ok,,, thanks! The car did not have anything inside when I got it back from paint, I did not see any holes in the floor, so they must have filled them!
so correct me if I am misunderstanding, this bolt is just a nut and bolt no plate like this;. https://www.corvettecentral.com/c3-6...te%26count%3d9

I use a socket (with nut & washer) placed on the end of a 4 or 5 inch extension bar to mate up with the bolt coming down from the seat. If you have trouble you can always use a piece of masking tape to keep everything together. Also you will need a magnetic pickup to retrieve the nut and washer if they fall into the channel. We must assume that Bubba figured three bolts would suffice, who knew Bubba had a degree in Engineering?
