    Pls help me identifying those tilting consoles

    Hi,

    A friend of mine have had those tilting consoles for many years but can't remember where they are coming from.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I'm not a certified seat policeman,but....

    They are definitely SWB. I'm guessing '68.

    Reasons....the extra welded tabs for the seat belt anchors, and although the photo is not totally clear...there appears to be a lock mechanism on the tilt function.

    My '67S frames do not have the extra tabs or a tilt lock mechanism.

    On the other hand they may just be modified SWB frames.

    Look like modified SWB tilts. Those seat belt tabs absolutely added with a LWB belt bracket and 72-73 buckle. Better pictures are needed as the one in the background doesn't look right.

    Any member of the seat police around?
    There is only one tilting. The other one is fixed.
    The tilting console has a double locking mechanism that look similar to the ones you find in 73 sport seat. The handle is broken though.
    So SWB console with welded tilting mhanism from 73 sport seat console?
