Yes, I am that stupid.....

Truck is in sig. I know there is a latch on the passenger side to release the backrest, but the seat doesn't seem to wanna fold flat. It would seem the bench portion would have to adjust/move to do so. Does it? Otherwise I don't see the point in having the latch for the rear seat since it doesn't come close to lowering flush.

The bottom flips up and forward and lays flat behind the front seat. Then the back lays flat behind that making a solid floor.

Pretty cool the first time I realized that...

Here's a scan of the 86 brochure showing the Super Cab seat.

 

If i remember correctly there is latches on both sides or it might just be the passanger side. unlatch it and pull forward. I have seen some people get theres to lay flat but i havnt been able to do that with mine at all.

 

The back has a latch on the passenger side. I forget about the bottom but in my 86 I don't think it has any latch.

The one time I folded it down it didn't sit 100% flat. I just assumed there was some crap in the way. If it doesn't fold all the way down I'm going to make it fold all the way down...

That's one of the bigger reasons I got the Super Cab, I want to have my dogs in the cab without jumping all over me. So the fold flat floor is nice. I was thinking I was going to have to pull the seat and make something. I'm probably going to try and keep a carpet runner or something like that to put down so they're not tripping over the gap.

 

I just want it to be able to a) preserve the seat and b) throw junk onto

Thanks for the pic. So just pull on the bottom, or does it have a latch, too?

my 92 has the latch

 

Ha! OK, figured it out. The answer is to man the hell up and pull! The lower portion flips completely upside-down when you grab it from the back, then you pop the latch for the back and lower it.

I had tried yanking on the bottom a few days ago, but I guess I was being too gentle. Probably the first time the thing has been flipped over in the truck's life ever.

Very cool! Now I have a nice flat spot to throw the tool box n whatnot.

yea my top was hard to come down i had a foam sticky pad thing that seemed to hold the peice up like it was stuck or something. I was afraid i was going to break it at first

 

Now someone needs to design a small air mattress that fits back there and we're set.

 

I love how the back seat folds down. Gave me room for my sub box

 

One thing to keep in mind-whatever you place back there should be bolted/strapped/tied down in some manner. Otherwise it'll be a projectile in the cab in case of an accident!

 

I folded mine down in 2005 and have never had it back up since..I have a piece of carpet fitted to it so my dogs don't slip on the slick metal surface. And as you can see these two are a back seat full!!!

 

White, nice dogs...

Here's the reason I got a Super Cab. I'm going to have to try that carpet trick.

 

Thanks!!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only dog lover on here!!!!

On my carpet I made it about 2 inches wider (front to back) I let the extra hang over the back of the seat back, so when I put the back down it captures the carpet between the seat back and the back wall of the cab.. So no slipping and sliding that way, of course the rubber backing on the carpet helps too... LOL

 

I'm with us on the dog lover but mine gets carsick over 15 min ride so he doesn't leave home much
