Blazer front seat question.....need help

I am down to the last stage of a year and a half blazer build. It is a 1970 full optioned CST. I have an original CST back seat but am at a loss for what to do with the fronts. The blazer is hugger orange with black interior and a white top. I want to drive it as much as possible but am looking for something more comfortable then the original buckets. I would like to have front seats that reclined and ride good without looking out of place. Does anyone have any ideas or pictures of what they have done. Thank you for the help!

Re: Blazer front seat question.....need help

I struggled with that myself and went through a couple of sets of seats before I settled on 2002 Jeep Wrangler seats.

A little wider but not so wide as to crowd the Tuffy console I put in there and they recline.

Not super cushy but very comfortable for long cruises and they look like they fit in there pretty good from the outside......at least I think so.

They are a good compromise for me.

I had to do a little cutting and welding on the factory frames so I could keep the folding passenger seat but it wasn't to bad.

Not factory colors. I had the whole interior done so everything matches.
Otherwise they are factory seats.
