Does anyone have experience with seat changeouts on the blazers my original buckets are long gone , what other types of bucket seats will fit the blazers and allow acces to the back ??

Mine has home-made brackets on some high-back buckets. The passenger side bracket allows the seat to tilt forward similar to the original. I would suspect that the latch on the bracket is partically made from some later model Blazer seats. The main problem is that the headrest can hit the front windshield if you are not careful. The other problem with my seats is they are ugly and beat!

73-77 Blazer buckets are very close in appearance to the 69-72 buckets. The brackets can be modified to fit. The difference being the 73-77 brackets are longer in front since the floor is flat on the newer Blazers. The 73-77 Blazer buckets will fit the 69-72 brackets.

My experience has been the seat tracks on the drivers seat are too short and the passenger seat is too narrow. I bought a set of seats out of a '74 thinking they would work but the tracks/rails don't line up. The driver seat tracks line up and bolt into the front mounting holes but are about an inch and a half to short to mount to the back holes.

Orangepunkin are you looking for some factory seats and center console? If you are, pm me, I have a set for sale.
Need to be recovered but their complete.

I have some after market bucket seats for sale, but the passenger seat does not tilt forward. It just slides forward. The brackets say they fit '69-'72. I'll find my thread and post the link if interested.

I have found original seats but to recover them makes them really expensive seats for what I can remember not very comfortable low back buckets
