Which Seats??

[red71cheyenne]

Looking for input on which power seats and out of what are the easiest to install in our Blazers. I know its not proper, but I like comfort and adjustability. Right now I have some seats out of a 90's van, but they are not power and I had to make the brackets for them.

Any input on what you guys have used would be great. Thanks, Jeff.

Power Tahoe seats in my old burb.

Those look pretty nice in there VT. How hard were they to mount up?

Not bad really, think I may of had to use spacers under the rear feet but it's been awhile ago now.

Very comfy in a burb or blazer, I didn't care for them in the pick up.

I used the stock seat belts, not the shoulder straps belts on the seats.

Do you happen to remember what year those came out of? I have a 95 Suburban with power seats in it, but they are terrible about the frames breaking. I have had to replace the seat bottom frame on the drivers side.

The seats are out of an 04 Tahoe.

Thanks VT, I'll keep my eyes open for something similar. I think the integrated seat belts will solve another problem as well. Jeff.

Hello! What, if any alternator upgrade would be needed with power seats and slight radio upgrade-(4 speakers, no real power). Perhaps I should start a new thread? First post, have not even towed my 70 Blazer home yet. I look forwrd to VT response, in just24 hrs time I have seen your contribution to things I had never even considered before (like Tri-Pro parts thread), Thanks!

Depending on what other upgrades you plan to make to your Blazer, your stock alternator will work fine for just power seats and a stereo. Now if you are going to start adding amplifiers, power windows, electric fans...you may want to look at getting a newer model.

On my 71, I'm running a CS130 alternator from newer vehicles because its a high power output alternator. The 71 has fuel injection, electric fans, stereo, power windows, locks and yada, yada, yada.

If you are just going to add a couple of things tho, your stock alternator will be ok.

Welcome to the board and do start a thread with pics of your Blazer once you get it home!!

Glad to hear your reading through the threads, tons of great info here.

Welcome to the board.

It's easier to keep threads on their original topic, the less confusion around here the better, So jump in and post up any & all question's you've got, we'll answer em the best we can.

Also be sure to introduce yourself and your blazer.

Thanks for the responses, seems few members sleep! Must be another reason why there aren't 'quicky' builds, you're all answering newbie questions. I will post pics once I get it home.

I am in the process of installing power seats from a 99 truck in my '69. The power seats move when I hook power to the orange wire and ground to the solid black wire. What is the black with white stripe for?

I was just thinking should I have started another thread? I haven't been here long... I just also realized I posted this in the blazer/jimmy forum anyway I like the way mine fit in the truck, now I just need to wire them.

i just put a set of 97 silverado seats in my blazer. they look great and were really easy to put in. $60 at pick n pull

heres the seats

[red71cheyenne]

Ya, those are the same as my 95 Suburban seats. I like those too, was just worried about the weak seat frames. Mine in the suburban has broken before. I do like them tho.

Mikey, sorry don't know what the other wire is for, maybe the other direction? I don't have my wiring diagrams over here, but maybe someone else can look it up on the schematic and tell you.
