Never seen this before, but looks like it would be the ticket you need to get in some buckets...

Like to get some black leather bucket seats and a console someday & those would sure help down the road.

How would these work anyways? The levers work from the side, so it looks like the passenger side adjuster operates on the left side and would interfere with a console. I am assuming the bent down part attaches to the hump on our trucks.

Exactly. I have about $6 worth of tubing in my seat pedistals on top of the $40 I paid for the CRX buckets(made by recaro).

I did a bucket conversion with 96 ford van buckets in my 79 Blazer they bolted right in except for the passenger side had to use the original bracket to get the tilt up seat. Just had to drill new holes in the bottom of the ford seat bottom.
The seats ran a little taller to so for the tall guys it would probably be uncomfortable. But good looking seats unfortunately the Blazer was stolen 4 yrs ago so no pics -----sorry.
