I AM DOING A FRAME OFF RESTORATION ON A 70 CUSTOM 10 AND WOULD LIKE TO PUT BUCKET SEATS WITH A CONSOLE IN IT. SICE I AM FAIRLY NEW TO THESE TRUCKS MY QUESTION IS ARE 69-72 SEATS ALL THE SAME? I THINK FROM READING POSTS HERE THAT 67-68 ARE DIFFERENT BUT I AM NOT SURE ABOUT 69-72? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED,THIS IS AN AWESOME SIGHT THANKS

All are the same except for seat cover scroll design. 69/70 used a single scroll pattern in the center of the seat cushions, the 71/72 style have 2 scrolls on either side of ceat center. Both cover styles are available in repro.

Pass side brackets are different between trucks and Blazer's other than that the seats are the same between models.

You can use 73-up lowback truck.blazer buckets and the correct 69-72 seat covers and get a resonably close match

The 69-72 bucket seats are the same. 67-68 buckets look totaly different. The 69-72 blazer/jimmy buckets look the same, but there are some little differences. (in brackets and backs) If you are going for "true" stock, 69-72 pickup buckets is what you want. Hope that helps.

But some suburbans and blazers used buckets that have metal backs and use a different style cushion which would not be correct in a truck.
This pic here shows the 3 types of seat available for trucks.
The blues on left are 67-68 truck buckets.
The center Black are 69-70 Truck buckets with 1 scroll.
The right side white ones are 71-72 with 2 scrolls... there was a highlander pattern seat skin available also. Rod
