1971 Blazer Bucket to 1971 Cheyenne Truck Swap
I have done some searching on the topic and have a few questions for those who have done this swap.
I have a pair of 1971 blazer buckets that I am considering swapping into my 1971 Cheyenne. It appears the seat track for the drivers side and the seat track for the blazer are identical. So with the exception of the bracing underneath the cab (does anyone have a picture what it looks like) that should be a bolt-in - correct? For the passenger, it was a fixed bracket. Before I create one, has anyone seen repros of this fixed bracket or do I need to fab / look for a used bracket? Gas tank is in the original location, so is it possible to fabricate or make use of the tilt option for storage? Any pictures would be appreciated. Thank you...

Someone does make repro pass side brackets, but can't remember who. I would think someone will chime in.

Thanks. I wanted to post some pics - camera flash was not working tonight.
Well - these look to be 71-72 seats...perhaps recovered?

Thanks - yes those are correct for the passenger seat.
Did you sell your 71 Door panels by chance?

Here is a picture of the seat stands and brackets that one of our members posted.
