Bucket seat mounting?
 

Okay.....I had a 1971 Blazer that had a JC Whitney seat in it when i bought it.....it was a great seat, but when my buddy bought the Blazer from me...he got rid of it. The original bucket seat bolt holes and threads are still there......but when I put a set of original sport buckets in it today........the front holes matched perfectly......however....the rear holes were about 2 inches too far back....both sides.
Did the 71 originally have those ugly wide buckets, and thats why the holes dont match? I checked the distance on my 72 Buckets in my Blazer......and there the same.....what gives?
Thanks...... :flag: :D :metal:

hey, did you get the email I sent you about those bumper bracket sheilds?

I though that all the buckets mounted the same way. The wide buckets were just a lower option as far as I know.

Anyone else?
 

Does anyone have an idea on why the holes and plates would be further back on this 71? It's weird.......Blazers never came with bench seats did they?
:D :flag: :metal:

Did you check both the driver and passenger seat? I might be wrong, but it seems like I recall that if you release the seat adjustment lever with the seat out of the truck, it can change the spacing of the mounting holes (front and back parts of the seat base change relative to each other). On a passenger Blazer seat, this can't happen since they don't adjust.

Thanks.....
 

I'll take a look......Thank-You!!!

I am also having some seat issues. Since I am converting a pickup cab floor to a Jimmy floor, the mounting for the seats is in the bench configuration. My question is, does the front outside mount of a bucket seat share the same mounting holes as a bench would? It looks like it might, I just want to make sure I am placing it the correct distance back from the dash board.

What did you find out about the holes and seat brackets????
