Rear seat swap

[Critter]

Good info! The link that I posted at the top is for a Tahoe seat and it is split. Crzngmychvy's is out of a suburban and is a one piece seat, no split. The Suburban version would probably be much easier. This is definetly something that I will eventually do.

I used the brackets off my factory seat and welded them to this 87 suburban seat and used the factory holes.

You can go ahead and give me your old seat then, just make sure to recover it for me first.

I knew that was coming...I will trade it to you for a good top (not your crappy sunroof one).

I want to do the split rear seat as well. Couple of reasons, they have seatbelts built in, they make the cargo area very flexible, & it's easier to remove them when they weigh half as much. You can get the brackets for these on EBAY as well, but they're a little more money.

I have two seats, but no brackets, one from a 96 burb and an o5 Yukon (namely the one I rolled!) I intend to put one or the other in the K5, When I get round to it I'll probably put the original 72 on the bay!!

I have a set of 3rd row seats from my '01 GMC, I am also looking to install brackets in my '71 blazer for the same reasons listed above. I did some measuring, and it looks like the seats should fit in fine between the wheel wells. I have a 60/40 split bench from a 96 extended cab pick up that I plan on putting in the front. Now the question is do I pick up a second set of third row seats from ebay and have the seats from the '96 and the new third row covered to match, or do I have the seats from the '96 covered to match the third row seats I currently have in my '01 GMC and just use them in both vehicles as needed? Doesn't it all come down to money?

Buddy,

The one out of my 05 Yukon has the belts built in and it is a one pice. I understand your point about being able to pull one or both, but just wanted to point out that all new seats have the belts built in (except the second row, as they are mounted to the truck to allow flipping up of the middle row to enter back row!

Good to know!!

I had a 60/40 bench in my blazer when I bought it & it didn't work very well. The passenger side bracket for the 60 seat was uneven, (the front of the bracket was higher than the rear), which made the seat not attach to the floor very well in that area.

You could probably figure out something to make it work. But it will definitely take some work. I just wanted to pass on my experience with those type seats in these type trucks.

Later,
Buddy

Sure...the way I see it if every time I come over I talk you into pulling just one more thing off your Blazer, i'll definitely be driving mine before you. So far you don't have a gas tank in it and your radiator is out (it's not my fault your radiator is out but i'll take credit anyways).
