You can make Blazer or Burb buckets work in a pickup with some minor work.

The parts required are two sets of pickup bench seat sliders and a pair of Burb mount tabs. You could also fab the tabs, there was a template or sketch on a post from last year here on the board.

The seat side of the bench seat sliders will need to be shortened to work with the buckets. I used the mount brackets from the Burb seats to attach the bench seat sliders to the buckets. None of this fab work was difficult, should be able to accomplish this in one afternoon using nothing more than hand tools. The only downside to this is will give you a passenger side bucket that is moveable, the factory pickup installation has a stationary passenger seat.

You could also use the Burb sliders if you heat and bend the rear of the sliders to match the pickup floor.

The underside of Burb and Blazer buckets are pretty much identical, the difference is the hardware used to attach them. I would start with a set of Burb buckets since they have the brackets you need and are high back.
