Did all brats come with rear seats?

[Downwash77]

I ask this question because on my brat I have the headrests for the rear seats but there is no corresponding mounting holes for the headrests.

85  was last year for jump seats. Was nuts in roof and brackets in the bed.

I'm pretty sure there's no "holes" because they were welded in. At least that's what the nubs looks like on my 85 Brat

You have an 86 Brat, correct? They did not come with rear seats. The mounting holes and metal bars you have are more or less a 'headache rack'. They won't accept headrests for two reasons. First, the headrests are adjustable and come as an assembly with the track so you can move them up and down. The assembly bolts to a tab below the upper bed trim above the window and a to bracket about 10" up from the bottom of the bed. Second, the mounts for the headache rack are in the wrong position. If you were to modify them so the headrest assembly would bolt on, they would not line up to the center of the seats by at least a few inches. You could fab mounts for the assemblies, but you would need the seats first so you could get them centered in place to know where the headrest mounts go.

 

If it is an 86 and has the rear seats, someone put them in.

Thanks, and yes it's a 86, I'm working on a bracket for the headrests (I have the seats)

Mine's an '85 and they are welded. I believe some '86 were sold with jump seats but they were left over 85's.
