there are two threaded holes(one each side) that the "pivot" bolts to...you need the special bolts for it...i believe(from memory) that the bolt is a 17mm head and has a "shoulder" that the pivot rides on(the shoulder keeps some space so the "pivot" can, well, umm, pivot...LOL) Joey

On my '71 Super, the back seat is attached with 2 hinges which allows it to be "folded" down.

the threaded holes are located in the "corners" just behind where the rear inner interior pannels are located... do you have the bolts that secure it?...don't know if they are "readily" available.... Joey

Actually only one on my cars. The other one is more like a pin on the end. Is mine wrong? ;-]

NO, yours isn't wrong...the later models were that way...i do not know when they change over was, so maybe i am giving wrong info here...sorry...but the bolt i described(and ben linked us to) is the at least *one* bolt needed...i am pretty sure the 72 i used for a baja still had two bolts...not sure what my 74 had because i tossed the seat for good when i bought it....
