rear blazer seat in sideways? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue4x4 · 01-09-2007, 11:10 AM

I was looking at purchacing a 70 blazer cst 4x4 85,000 original miles with tach dash. What I noticed was the rear seat was mounted sideways ( on the drivers side) and the rear tire was located behind the drivers seat. It looked all factory to me, Any Ideas?

If it has the spare factory behind the driver's seat, the rig didn't come with a rear seat. check the build sheet on the glove box - it should be listed. As for mounting the seat sideways, it sounds like a bad idea. I'd look to see if they welded in some supports or just drilled holes through the thin bed metal. If the rig came with a rear seat factory, there should be some mounting points in the bed welded in place with threaded inserts - two in the front and 4 in the back (two of the four rear locations could be for seat belt bolts depending on how it was built.)

There was no mounting hole in the standard areas, not sure about how the current ( sideways) location is mounted. Thanks
