02 Silverado Seat Install
Ok Here's my install. I started with a simple task. Take 1 Blazer...fit myself and wife and 4 kids. Piece of cake. The first thing is to fit 3 across the front. I wanted to put in newer Silverado seats. I found some at a wrecker and $550 later I was on my way. Next I decided to install the seats using only the stock holes in the floor. Not a piece of cake. But fun. Anyhow, this is my first post with pics so I hope this goes ok. By the way I just bought an 02 Astro rear seat for the back. Fits perfect between the wheel wells. I'll try again to post pics of that one too.
Tell me what you think... Here is a pic of the brackets I made to mate the seats to the stock holes. ![]() Here is a side shot of the drivers side and how it sits on the brackets. ![]() Here is a shot with the passage to the back. I can fit through well. I'm 6'1'' 190. Oh and if you're taller than I am I'd do something different. These may sit you up too high. ![]() Here are a couple of shots with them in. They are so very comfortable. Sholder belts too. And lumbar supports. NOT electric. ![]() ![]() Last edited by DruBlazer; 02-24-2005 at 11:00 AM. |

Pics didn't make it. If you can try again I'd appreciate it. I have some out of a 2000 Silverado and I'm going to tackle this job in the coming weeks.

That looks good. Are you going to put two rows of seats in the back? I'd think there would be room if you move the first row forward of the stock position (kids don't need much leg room) and one all the way to the back.

Rear seats
I'm just going to do the one seat. I'd like to keep the cargo room. Plus the kids are little so they can fit three across and be comfortable.

Hey vtBlazer
Nice! They're a bit more comfortable huh? Did you directly bolt them to the floor or did you bracketize too?

I just did the quick and dirty method, mounted them to the existing front mounts and put a small spacer under the rear that bolts to the rear mounts. Your brackets look alot nicer/cleaner, I'll do it that way when I put the next set in my blazer. Once again, nice work. |

It's not too bad. One of the pics shows the seat folded up and slid all the way forward. I'm a pretty wide sholdered guy and I can squeeze through with little problem. I was actually shocked at how easy it was. I thought it would be harder.

Did you make the brackets from scratch? Or did you use something as a base and then build from that? I want to put tahoe/burb/escalade power heated seats...and I am sure I will run into some of the same problems you did, so any ideas for the brackets would be great...
thanks Lenny

Tips
Well... Here's what I did. And yes, they are all from scratch. The first thing I did was poor a pint. Drink it. Then poor another. Then I got started. I wanted to get the brackets up off the floor so I could put the seat bolts up through the brackets. So in the front, the strip steel you see has standoffs I made of tube steel at each of the mounting points to the cab. On the outside front mounting points the hole for the seat lands pretty close to the outside stock hole. So the outside rails are slid forward 1 place so I could use a separate mounting point. It still slides up and back far enough. I hope all of this helps. Let me know if you need more tips.

congrats Drublazer, the seats look great. and your brackets are very clean. i got a quick question. how are the shoulder harnesses mounted? i was planning on eventually swapping in newer front buckets and i was wondering how i would mount the shoulder harnesses. i thought about welding a mount to my roll bar... how did you do it?
