All the parts have come in so I will be putting the seats in this coming weekend.

Here is a link to amazon with the seats.

I ended up ordering a pair a couple days ago. Got the last pair on amazon listed for $242, thanks for sharing. The truck doesn't run yet, but it'll have some sweet seats!

Re: Front Bucket Seats from Procar

I ordered a pair of these seats and one bracket(thinking I would make my own from the same dimensions). Should have them here next week

I didn't realize that the new seat adapters do not utilize the factory brackets.
It looks like the entire passenger seat(with bracket) no longer tips forward. I'm guessing these new seats tilt forward on their own, likely with a forward slide.
So how accessible is the rear seat, now that you have a bolted down bracket?

Yeah the seats do not tip forward, but slide front enough for the back to be accessable. If you had the ability to make your own bracket I would absolutely try to make the stock ones work. After driving around in the blazer the last couple of days the height at which I sit at is getting pretty uncomfortable. I need to take a couple inches off the Procar adapters. Then again I am 6 foot tall and am all torso. Let me know what you decide when you get everything.
