Show me your seats - utility, custom, sport, etc. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lks dcvn** · 06-28-2007, 10:57 AM

I did a search to make sure one didn't already exist on the forum yet...

Curious to see what others have done for seats in their Blazers and Jimmys.

I want to see the options for seating in these rides - recovered utility buckets, stock sport seats, newer seats transferred in, etc.

I don't have pix at work to share - but wanted to get some ideas. I can post my pix up when I get home...

Also curious to know if you had work done to restore or recover them how much you paid to have it done or what source you used to redo them yourselves.

Thanks everybody!

Tom

Sure.

Ive got Buckets out of a 2001 silverado up front (pic)
and just picked up a set of 2001 tahoe 3rd row seats that fold/tumble/removable for the rear. I can get a pic of those tonight.

All seats have integrated lap and shoulder belts.....

Are the 3rd row seats you have the 50/50 split type? Also, have you installed them yet or if not when you do, can you please post some pics because I have some that I want to install as well, but do not know which would be the best way to mount them in the back. Thanks.

RckyMntnKng · 06-28-2007, 02:12 PM

JW,

Yep, they are the 50/50 split type.

I just got them saturday in excellent condition off a gal in Craigs for $75 buck!
What a screamin deal.....and they are matching grey cloth.

Ive been pondering how to mount these...Ive seen on ebay that you can purchase the set of "Strikers" that the tahoes use to mount the seats for about $120. Little steep but....

You could use them like a tahoe does, fold forward or down and be removable for a bike or camp gear etc.

The stirkers are just several pieces of tube that the seats "roll" on it looks like. Somehow they will have to be recessed in the floor like a tahoe, or im thinking i want to mount them up higher to raise the seat up a lil. they would need some good reinforcing metal in the tub to be safe

Southedisto · 06-29-2007, 12:42 AM

These are what is going in mine soon, 98 60/40 seat. The bucket seat is the stock Jimmy seat, with a custom reupholster job.

Don't waste the money on the ebay strikers. I bought the same ones at a local salvage yard for $25. I have two thoughts on how I am going to mount mine. I have thought about cutting a floor section out of a Tahoe or Suburban and welding it to over the present floor with cut outs for the recessed areas. The other idea is to build a spacers for the strikers to sit on. The spacers need to be 1 1/2 inches tall according to my measurements. Both methods will require reinforcing .

I think these swivel buckets are cool!

bump for more seat pix - curious to see what is out there.

cstanley · 07-03-2007, 09:29 AM

i just finished mounting my new seats, but no pics yet. i'll try to get some.

earl87gta · 07-04-2007, 01:27 AM

Southedisto,
I love the Cammo seats did you use a set of utilites to make them or did you score a roll of ckloth from some were. I would like to do a set like that for the burb.
here are the seats I used for my 72 blazer they are 2000 Chrystler mini van seats I used them becuse the passenger seat had a lockable glove box under it. and it was nice being able to remove the back seat by just the push of a button.

jimmypop · 07-04-2007, 01:53 AM

Kragen $190 for the pair, flip forward and recline...

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-04-2007, 07:42 AM

Thanks, the seat is my stock Jimmy bucket seat. The original was trashed so I had a buddy of mine do this one, the digi camo was some scrap he got from work.

Redone stock interior.71 Blazer.

va_tlc · 07-04-2007, 08:56 PM

very nice bobby... but but whats that plug in for on the side of the top? im not fimilar with blazers but have never seen that

**lks dcvn** · 07-04-2007, 09:48 PM

that would be the plug for the interior lights on a single wall top...

that plug gets removed when you remove the top...

BobbyK · 07-04-2007, 10:33 PM

What he said.

the_goat · 10-04-2007, 02:51 AM

I know there are a lot more aftermarket/ upgraded seats. I need some more ideas.

earl87gta · 10-04-2007, 03:47 AM

There is a guy on ebay that sells friaght liner seats cheap there all new he does convertions so he removes the factory seats to upgrade them ive been looking at his high back seats they have arms on both sides of the seat so it would keep me from puting my arm on the door.

the_goat · 10-04-2007, 03:59 AM

Do you happen to know his name? I'll try searching in the mean time.

earl87gta · 10-04-2007, 04:19 AM

I cant get to ebay from work but i aways search on truck bucket seats and he comes up I think he is in AL. If you like low back seats there is a guy that sells lowbak seats to but only in black for like 100 for 2 and there new but they dont recline.

RAB38 · 10-04-2007, 07:52 AM

here is mine, bestop seats for a jeep with the flip forward jeep brackets. The back seat is upholstered to match

epsorenson · 10-04-2007, 11:46 AM

here's mine currently...custom grey leather with cloth inlay.
these are brand new, part of restore from previous owner.

i'm actully in the process of putting the 07 black leather escalade seats you see below as we speak.

once the new seats are in, the originals will be up for sale.
