Here is a picture of the buckets in my son's Burb. The picture is not the best but the buckets are really sharp.

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
I used SEM vinyl paint on the console & dash, but I bought the door panels, seat covers and visors that color.(sandalwood)

Yes, they came from the factory that way.

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
To end any confusion in this thread,Blazer buckets are no different than truck buckets. They are the same seats. The only thing different is Blazers and Jimmys have tilt forward passenger side mounts and trucks are stationary.

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
jondancer,
The tank does not interfere with the buckets. As mentioned they came from the factory with the tank in the cab. Here is a pic of my son's 69 GMC and the tank is behind the carpet. Jim

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
I know its an old thread but screaminchevypickup are those utility buckets in your truck? The shoulders look really square (or maybe its just the angle of the picture), was just wondering if they fit well with a console?
Also did trucks have the plastic backs on them?

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
No,trucks didn't have the plastic backs. 71/72 bucket seat backs are less tapered than 69/70s.

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
OK, I been thinking about doing mine with buckets.
1. How do you tell the diff between utility buckets and regular? 2. Do you have to use the truck pass side brackets or will the flip forward one work? 3. If the flip ones work in a truck is it an advantage for any reason? 4. Hugger CST, what color SEM matches Sandlewood?

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
... And what did you guys use as far as mounting them in a bench seat truck? (seat mounts to cab)

2)You can use any brackets...but you will have to drill holes and then reinforce them. Either 67-72 bucket brackets (truck or blazer (not utility)) will keep the seats just below the rear window. 73-up work but are taller (nice for people with longer legs) 3) I like the blazer brackets for both driver's and passenger seats. I don't need the forward adjustment as I need the seat as far back as it can get...the tilt forward allows access behind the seat either for the gas tank....or if relocated...for storage behind the seats...and for easy access to the jack and hardware on the passenger side 4) Hopefully hugger responds...I know the SEM parchment color is too light so you have to use something else to match...

You could do something similar or just use large fender washers or similar to reinforce them.....

I couldn't remember, so I had to check the can and actually it was Plastikote vinyl paint #419 buckskin.

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
Sorry, they just looked more square, like I said maybe its the angle the picture is taken. I'm new to the bucket seat world so give a newbie a break.

Here's a pic: ![]() 2. You would need the parts from the Blazer floor that accept the seat. 3. I guess if you moved the gas tank it would allow easier access behind the seat. You would only have access from between the seats without. The passenger seat flips right up to the dash/windshield. On the driver side the steering wheel will interfere. If tank is left in the cab,I see no advantage at all. 4. I don't know,ask Hugger CST ![]()

Re: Any one have any pics of blazer buckets and console in their truck
I know this is an old thread, but while researching original bucket seats I noticed this one mentioned that a console would not fit between utility buckets (with steel back cover). In my 71 K5, it has the original utility buckets (recovered) and a added console. Seats are still mounted original to blazer and console fits nicely between. Seats and console all function properly. Hope this helps any utility seat owners wanting a console.
