Default How are the seatbacks supposed to be mounted

My car had no seatbacks when I bought it. I just got a set off ebay, but its just the shells. I some some stuff on the zip site, but it does not show how they are supposed to be mounted. Anyone got any pics of a 68 seat back properly mounted?

thanks,

If they mount like my 69, you'll find 2 "prongs" on the top of the seat itself. The seat backs have recesses created by metal strips which screw into the back of the seat back. These recesses slip over the prongs. They are retained by 2 chrome screws on the bottom. 68's used the "low seat back latch" design, while 69 used the "high seat back latch" design. Chuck
