I have a question I have several bench seats in various broncos some like my 69 do not lean forward and then one that is out of a bronco has parchment hinge covers and it leans forward so it would be at least a 67.I kind of figured that the early ones did and later ones did not fold forward. I then ask a friend about one that is a 71 and it leans forward. So what year bronco, and does the seat lean forward or is it rigid, do you guy/gals have? I believe that around 72 was the last year for the bench seat anyway.

I have a 66 with a bench seat and it has two bolts that secure the seat back to the bottom. I figured they all had this and the ones that leaned forward we’re just missing the bolts. Makes sense that they do not fold forward as there would typically be a bulkhead behind them and no need for access to a rear seat.

Ditto.....2 bolts in mine too. There is no latch to keep it in the upright position only the bolts keep it from folding. I don't know the year of my bench bit it is original Bronco.
