Default how do the rear seat mounts....

bolt in? never noticed but the rear bolt/bolts are missing out of my seats. the end of the track has two holes, but there is a single hole in the floor directly behind the tracks. does this take two bolts, or am i missing a section of track that goes back to the single hole? BTW, it is a 72 model. thanks Don

The rear seat track should have two holes in it and two bolts that secure it to the floor of the car. People that break off the bolts when removing the seats tend to just bolt the seats down where they can instead of removing the broken bolt or replacing the reinforcement.

2 bolts at the front of the seat and 2 bolts at the rear of seat--in the rear of seat there are 2 holes in the seat slide on each side but I think there is only 1 hole actually drilled and tapped on each side in the body-4 total bolts holding 1 seat down

The track goes back almost all the way-are you sure the front is in the correct spot?
