I can, on most seats.
Pic #1 The 73-80 seat, if it’s a tilting seat, will have the release of both sides of the seat just behind the seat back. And then the seat slide adjust knob will on the drivers side of the seat, towards the door opening.
Pic #2 shows a better picture of the passenger side seat release.
Pic #3 is the seat slide adjust.
Pic #4 is the 81-87 seat, which tilts, but doesn’t have a release. They just tilt forward by leaning the seatback forward. Unless it’s a Suburban or CrewCab front, those are fixed and do not tilt forward. Slide adjust is in the front of the seat.
Pic #5 just shows the 81-87 bottom frame & grid. It is definitely different than the 73-80 seats.
