Go to a locall bone yard look in subberns and blazers and be sheru an get the mounts of the floor for your truck.

Blazer/Burb seat mounts won't work on a pick up.

Captkaos adapted some single stand alone buckets in his Blazer.
Where the pics Capt?
I have two single stand alone bucket seats from an Astrovan that can be made to fit. You have make bracket for them. Not too hard since the buckets already have a 6"-8" metal base to bolt to.

The pickup used the same seats as the Blazer/Jimmy in the bucket style, but the seat brackets are totatlly different. This is because of the floor design. Blazer/Jimmy seats are about 4" taller on the outer mount than needed and the inner mounts are way off. Blazer/Jimmy seats mount flat. This isn't possible on a pickup.

Here are the pics of the seats mocked in the floor of my Jimmy:

Here are the buckets (Toyota Xtracab) buckets mounted in my pickup (OLD pic)

For both I had to make brackets that would mount them to the floor.

I have a set of buckets that came from my Jimmy that need recovering that I will sell and I have a matching console.

Reguardless of what you get you will have to make mounts for anything. Unless they are new and you get brackets for the application, or you find a set that originally came out of a pickup.

No, you could get the seats out of a Jimmy/Blazer and unbolt them from the seat tract/bracket and you might as well throw the brackets away. They won't work. I guess you could cut try to cut on them, but they aren't that strong once you start cutting on them. 73-87 seats from Blazer/Jimmys don't slide on the passenger side and neither side reclines, they are stationary.

That picture isn't a Toyota truck, it is a 1973 C10 pickup with Toyota Xtracab seats mounted in it.

I have a set from a 75 chev pickup, saddle colour, with mint console, door panels, gauge bezel. I may split them up. Check the parts board.

I used bracket out of a suburban and seats out of a Ford Aerostar van. If you want some picts email me and I will email them to you. The suburban seat mounts work perfectly, there is one piece of metal that you have to cut out and bolt in your truck. When you look at the frame setup in the suburban you will see what I am talking about.
