Any idea of what the proper term for this seat design is? Are these a fairly common design? These were in my 71 Blazer and I'm pulling them in favor of a seat of high backs of unknown origin that are in much better shape. The second pair of pics is the center console and the upholstery matches the rear seat as do the design of the back to base attachment arms, so I think it's all stock stuff.

Are these worth hanging on to? Are they worth anything for selling?

Thanks,
Herb

That there be a UTILITY bucket seat. IMHO they are not desireable. The console looks like a custom job, never seen one like that.

Upholstry work is all custom on those, nobody makes repop covers

I like the console. Are you sure it`s not a factory piece?

I am under the assumption that it's factory. The base construction quality 'feels' factory, but the cushions certainly don't. I'll check the lock detail in the morning and see if it's a factory type key.
