whos using different seats?

[71Rat]

I am debating of putting in different seats into my blazer. I have put the 1999-20?? style gm truck/suv seat into a 71 pickup and loved them. So I have been thinking of that style seat or I have seen where some have used the 2nd row from a tahoe or suburban (same years roughly) and the right side of the seat is designed to flip forward to get into the back.

has anyone used any of these seats: pics? pros? cons?

thank you for your input

A few examples. I really like them, especially for getting into and out of the back with the top on.

Cons are that the seat brackets need to be modified to sit correctly and not be too tall and they can be pricey.

the more I look at them the more I like that design... Just loses the slide to the drivers seat... no more adjusment

That alone shy's me away from doing the front. Not only do I need to keep the driver side adjustable, but I wouldn't mind making the passenger side adjustable as well.

I'll have to check the spare set of 3rd row seats I have, I'm almost positive they are adjustable. There is a local fellow here that runs a shop doing handicap conversions, and literally has 100's of these seats in storage forsale from various models of SUV's. Some of these seats do have adjustable tracks.

Edit: Just checked mine, they have adjustable tracks. Both sides slide individually while still retaining their release/removable feature.

80's bronco seats. Sacrilege I know. But once you slide your passenger seat up under the dash and even a very large man finds it easy to climb in the back you will be a fan.

I love my seats, they are a very comfortable ride (One of 29od1 links above). My brother swapped out his seats soon after trying mine. I just wish there was room to go further back, I feel the same even with the stock seats though.

i REALLY wanted to put tahoe seats in mine, i think they look awesome in these rides. but they were way expensive from the ones i found. ended up finding bucket seats out of an Audi for cheap, then i reused the original back seat and had it recovered.

Sam your seats turned out great. Are the sliders functional on your seats?

I'm going with 2005 Tahoe seats. My build is in my signature.

mine had a set of mid 70s swivel buckets, from a monte carlo-grand prix type car. they are mounted on 1 inch tubing, they are in decent condition and very comfortable
