OK "too much stuff", heres the pics of the seats installed.

**too much stuff** · 09-15-2011, 11:03 PM

Those look right at home in there! Bucket seats really dress up an interior. Nice job!!!!

67_SS396 · 09-16-2011, 12:09 AM

Love the look! If it wasn't for wanting to have my little boy ride with us, the hot rod would get buckets. Keep up the good work!

it's like getting a whole new truck when you install new interior, isnt it?

that looks really good! makes me reconsider buckets for mine

SCOTI · 09-16-2011, 10:44 AM

Just to clarify, those are the standard burb/blazer high-back buckets covered w/an LMC 'seat cover kit'? They look nice.

J Knight · 09-16-2011, 10:44 AM

I just want to give "too much stuff" a AAA rating. You guys can buy from him with confedence.

No. These are factory hibacks from a standard reg cab.

The 'burb buckets grew armrests and started to recline somewhere around '81 or so. The pickups and blazer (through 85) did not recline, or have armrests.

I noticed the arm rests gone which is what prompted the question. I was curious if he had removed them & used standard high-back bucket covers w/o issue. That would give others alternatives if wanting to do a bucket swap.

I'm still on the fence about leaving them (the armrests) in place on the dually as they go through the recovery process. I have to decide quickly....

Jonboy · 09-16-2011, 12:27 PM

They aren't the best looking, but they sure do make it comfortable. You will probably notice the armrest has as much wear as the outer side of the seat usually.

The truck/blazer hi backs are fixed, too. They are also a little more squared off at the top vs. the 'burb seats.

Thanks for the props! The seats came stock in an 81 or 82 4x4, 3/4 or one ton pickup. The dash pad had scottsdale on it if i recall and it also had a 4 speed with tilt. There wasn't much left and it was a job to get them out but i am happy with the way this story ends!

Wow that really looks great, Id feel bad getting in that one after work.

bigblock73 · 09-17-2011, 10:52 AM

Looks NICE!

What is the story on the console...with the third cupholder in the lid...or so it appears?

bmchevy1979 · 09-17-2011, 01:07 PM

I think it is a replacement it should have a keyed lock there
