Re: factory k-5 blazer buckets into crewcab ?

What year Blazer buckets? You need to ditch the tracks and get some tracks from a 73-91 Burb along with inner mount for the bucket seats. I used 77' Blazer buckets and 80' Burb seat tracks in my 82.................

As far as I know the 73-91 crewcabs were never available with factory buckets ....but they were common in Suburbans.

You should be able to use the sub mounts.
