Q?:Upholstery For Non-CST Blazer Buckets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Do the CST covers fit on the base-model seats?Not the square Utility Bucket type.The tapered non-scroll type found in the "rubber mat" Blazers.

To my knowledge, the blazer came with either the base--utility bucket seat or the sport bucket seat---both of which had several different covers available depending on the years. The "CST" covers as found in the sport buckets on the trucks and top end blazers/jimmy---will fit any sport bucket seat--truck or blazer. I have seen them in both the 69-70 pattern as well as the 71-72. check LMC, truck shop, Mothertruckers, Christian's, GMC Paul, etc.

Most are utility or cst however a family friend was the orginal owner of a 72 non cst with buckets that were a black made of the same material. They did not have the scrolls and pleats like cst it was more like a houndtooth seat the inset was horizonal and all black. I own a 72 base model those same seats the same seats. Those are the only two I have seen like that

Looks like this? The 71-72 repro covers will fit, however if you do want to keep the original style there is a place that sells this fabric for the inserts. I was planning on ordering the fabric and a set of repro seat cover, ripping the middles out of the cst style seat covers and getting the plain jane inserts stitched in.

That would be them. They are a very nice cover. Not as fancy as the CST but seem to wera better IMO. Is the backseat of the same material I can't remember

The back seat has the same sort of material but it does have designs in it so it would be impossible to find or alter a reproduction, your only choice is used or NOS. I had someone measure the inserts of repro front covers and they are the same size as the plain jane so it would cost you 2 new seat covers and about 2 yards of the insert fabric at $55 a yard plus whatever it would be to get them sewn in.

So,I guess,the seats are the same with different material/print.These are probably the most common.

i went to my local upholsterer's and picked out matching fabric from one of his books and he custom made the covers for my blazer to look like the elcheapo's as i like them better and he matched the rear seat also for 450$

$450 sounds very reasonable.
