seats
New to forum-Picked up 66 belvedere -the front seats come off brackets when you fold front to get to back seat.What keeps brackets from coming of pins? nothing to hold them on?

the seat brackets are bolted to the floor with 4 bolts 2 each side of the seat itself through the floor underneath usually with studs. The top part is bolted into the seat as well.
For more help a few pictures of the problem will help.

The seats are bolted to floor with 4 bolts.The problem is the arms that keep the lazyback on keep coming off,there is one on the bottom and one on the inside on brackets-my question is how do the arms stay on the pins?It sure feels good to have a mopar again-had a 69 rr,72 sat,73 charger,65 monaco-wish i had them all back!

Uh let me think. Your talking not about the bottom half of the seat where the two pins, painted black, about 3/4 of an inch long stick out but the Top half of the seat where the two steel arms come out of coming off of the pins every time you fold the seat forward?
It shouldn't come off the pins unless the seat framing is busted somehow. Ideally you would remove the hog rings from the seat, carefully remove the seat covers and foam and check for cracks in welds or the steel frame of seat. As a temporary fix I suppose you could put the steel clips used on chevys to hold the drums on the studs but it will look hokey. It's also possible, however very unlikely, that the arms are bent outwards from the seat frame and need a good bend inwards.
That said I will say that I have encountered one seat where the bottom frame the pins were somehow too short on either side. Had to get the pins replaced with some from another seat frame welded in to replace them.

There should be a bumper on the seat bottom to control the seat back position & there is a push on button to hold the seat back on to the bottom Should be able to get them at hardware store
