Passenger Seat Back Mounting Tabs

Post by maxpearcy »

Does anyone have a picture of how the upper tabs for the passenger seat back look? Mine are tore off all the cabs I have available to look at. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the pic! Now I see why they are tore off both of my cabs.

As mentioned before my cab did not have any mounting tabs for the seat. I am working on adding these tabs and still have a question that I cannot find addressed in any manuals. I see where the seat hangs from the tabs; is there anything that anchors the bottom side of the seat? Either to the back of the cab or something else? My seat frame has a couple studs welded on the back but there aren't any corresponding holes in the cab back. I do see a couple tapped holes in the rear framework that are close. Any additional guidance appreciated.

See pics. A bracket connects the seat back frame to the cab. The 2 lower threaded holes on the vertical strengthening channels are where it attaches.

Max, on a different subject where did you get that wall-sized wiring diagram?? I love it! I could use one of those as well as a blown-up lube order chart!!

Nice update Max!
Bubba tore off my mounts years ago, then hacked in some drop-tabs in the back braces.

Thanks for the pics; that helps a ton. I will either hunt some of those brackets down or make my own.

I just noticed you enquired about the large wiring diagram. We have a large format printer here at work that I just print them off on. Just PM your address and I will send you one if you want. I had it laminated as well so you can mark it up with an expo marker.

Your diagram does not depict the latest turn signal system.

The older one with the complex relay box is very problematic, and parts are in the unicorn state nowadays.

I recommend using the easily sourced newer components, consisting of a flasher unit, control arm, and wiring loom. A simple integration into your existing loom.

That's true. I helped my friend get his working. The failure point in that box is the flasher unit. We had to buy a modern 24 volt flasher unit that we fit inside the box. Worked fine then. Kinda fun having the top open and watching all the relays click back and forth.

Does anyone have a complete wiring diagram with the latest turn signal system included? I have been able to find it separately but not included in the whole schematic.

The current system is the same on most any recent tactical. It consists of the flasher module, control handle, and wiring loom.

The loom terminates in Packard terminals, marked with the usual designations needed.

All the looms I've seen are the same, universal to fit most trucks. Buy one for 5-tons or Deuces. Easy-peasy.

Not sure about those for Hummers.

Both the Early and Late wiring schematics are pinned up top. The B1 Late schematic includes the turn signal wiring.

Murf, in case you still need it, I posted XXL images of the diagrams in my builder's thread a few days ago.
