My buddy seat (TZE063V101776) has no swivel or slide hardware. The seat looks original, but might have been swapped in by a PO.

I'd really love to find a way to get it to swivel. Anyone know where to source hardware that will work?
 
My buddie seat does not swivel and is mounted like yours (not as nice as yours though)

It makes it difficult getting the engine compartment deck lid off

I am under the impression that the double seat never swiveled

I would start with a swivel for the single seat and go from there
 
We have a fixed non swiveling buddy seat, but I have seen pics of them with swivels. Was first thinking i was missing how to make it swivel, like it was some secret gmc puzzle they built in! but no luck! I will attach pic of one that swivels!

My 73 painted desert swivels. I think it works off of the original style swivel. Ill see if i can get some pictures for you when i get home.
 
I've got a '73 with a buddy seat too; I'll have to see if it swivels. It's the back-burner coach, so I've not spent any time with it.
