need bucket seat help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm working on a buddys truck and he wants me to install these bucket seats
the brackets look correct but seats look a litte off. I'm thinking they might be 73 up seats with 72 brackets? If somebody can ID these I would appreciate it.
Thanks,James

The plastic backs indicate Blazer, but the passenger bracket does not flip forward so that bracket does not indicate Blazer. Taking a stab at it I would guess that they are from a conversion, like a C30 motorhome.

I agree with the OP from the pics shown. 73-75 seats with 72 hardware.

The driver seat brakets look like my blazer brackets.

Another thing is the driver seat sits higher then the passenger side you can see it in the first pic. And if they are 73 up will they work? thanks for all the feed back so far.

The driver brackets might also be 73-up. The front "legs" are about 3" tall on 69-72 brackets, and about 4" tall on 73-up. Problem is the seat backs are angled further back and hit the cab in a truck. They will require modification to fit.
