92 Z71 ex cab Bucket seat fold/recline lever stripped out

[DownandDirty]

The mechanism still functions without a problem other than I have vice grips (previous owner modification) in place of the lever. The actual arm is completely hammered to where the lever can not be reinstalled without replacing the splined portion the lever slides onto. Is this piece replaceable or do I need to look for new seats?

Any help is appreciated.

I haven't replaced one on my truck but I did in a car, best bet is to go to the junkyard rip apart a seat and see how it comes apart. The one I had replaced just bolted on once you got the fabric back. Lets hope gm would do the same for us.
