Anyone have a pic of...

Lol, sorry for the vauge description, but I couldn't really fit enough information into the title.

Anyway, I'm looking for a pic of the underside of the solid front bench from a Supercab. It's the solid seat with the 50/50 folding split for access to the back seat.

I was sick over the weekend, so the wife used the truck to haul some flat-pack furniture around. Since I'm much taller and much wider, I keep the seat all the way back, but she has to move it forward. When I tried to put the seat back into my position Monday morning, only the drivers side moved, so now the seat is at a slight, but annoying angle.

I noticed a brass colored rod with a shallow hook in the end hanging down in front of the passenger side of the seat. Clearly this is part of the latch mechanisim, but I can't see under the seat well enough to find where it goes. It's too damn cold to pull the seat out, and although I can probably live with the angle, it's probably not particularly safe.

So, any help is greatly appreciated.

mine does the same thing i don't have a picture but what i do is sit in the middle with a leg on each side of the hump and move the latch and move the seat back or forward that way so it doesn't create the angle.

Hope it helps

Yhea, that's the real problem, I can't see/feel the latch on the passenger side to release it. As far as I'm concerned, once it gets back to my position, it can stay there forever.

I'll have to mess with it some more when it warms up a bit. Supposed to be getting around a foot of snow tonight.

There is a rod that connects the two sides and i don't know if it's like it on all of the trucks but mine is loose and pita to do. i hate it when my dad gets in and moves my seat cause he can't reach the pedals good haha.

Yep, I can see the rod, because it's not attached to the latch on the passenger side. It's definately a pita.
