Found a set of bucket seats today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went junkyardin' today and found a set of buckets out of a 71 or 72 Blazer. They are in pretty good shape, no big rips just separating at the seams. I got em for $100. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

I think thats called stealing.

Nice score I stole a set for forty dollars about six weeks ago.

*67/72junkie* · 12-29-2002, 12:51 AM

what was left of the blazer?

mkmiller1 · 12-29-2002, 12:52 AM

Congrats on your find! Just curious, Did the blazer have any other goodies?

The Blazer still had a lot of usable parts. The top was gone and there were a lot pieces thrown in the back. The doors and front end are all there except the hood. I did notice some air conditioning pieces are still under the hood. It was trying to get the seats out and didn't really look for anything else.

yup got a set couple months ago for $10 a piece and a $20 console!

Indianoutlaw, you got the deal of the century! I wish I had your luck!

Hey Mark, Next time I want to go!

pphatbasstard · 12-29-2002, 11:47 PM

Any one have a good picture of the 71' 72' blazer seats?

chevy garage · 12-29-2002, 11:48 PM

No problem, It is about 30 minutes from your house!

**Tim Christian** · 12-29-2002, 11:55 PM

30 MINUTES from the house! Man I just don't take enough time to go play anymore!

BraveDave · 12-29-2002, 11:56 PM

while we are on the subject.....i just bought a '72 cheyenne super and the seat back is so thick that it leaves me little legroom for my right leg. will a set of bucket seats solve my problem. if not, any other suggestions?

chevy garage · 12-29-2002, 11:59 PM

I'm not real sure but I'd think the buckets should give more leg room. I'm hoping it will on mine.

where waz the junkyard at(NAME)? Have you ever been to SONNY'S in blaine,tn they have everything for our trucks.

chevy garage · 12-30-2002, 12:04 AM

Sonny's is where i got em. When you go up the driveway, the Blazer is sitting on the right. He has tons of truck parts!

**Tim Christian** · 12-30-2002, 12:16 AM

Hey Mark, i can hook you up with the right passenger side seat brackets for those bucket if you need them.

chevy garage · 12-30-2002, 12:20 AM

I'll probably need them don't I? How much do you want fer em?

**Tim Christian** · 12-30-2002, 12:25 AM

You can do it with Blazer Brackets but I think the truck ones look better in a truck. Anyway Big Orange had some made and I will be going down there to pick up some Burb parts in the middle of Jan. I will talk to you about them at the Rod Run.

Sounds good Tim.

Thanks,
Mark
