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.
