just bought this bucket seats from a 72 blazer, complete with rails and hardware for $40, are they worth the money? or paid too much?

They look like good seats for $40. I am not sure they are factory Blazer buckets. The shape at the top corners is much more pointed, and where the tops come down to the bottom section is different too.

Maybe they are factory with custom covers/foam work, but I think they are probably from something else originally.

I see a adjustment handle sticking out the side, and it looks factory....might be a good buy for forty bucks

real good specially if you need them

Flip them over and take a pic. If they've got the stock brackets on them, they alone are worth more than you paid for the seats.

Looks like the original brackets to me. Good buy.

tubbedII · 01-03-2013, 04:01 PM

Awesome buy! I paid $15 alone for the hold down bracket on the passenger side.

**Baketown Scotty** · 01-03-2013, 04:09 PM

Great price in my opinion. Lot less than I paid. I'm also paying $100 each for sandblasting and powdercoating.

Haha hey Alex! I am the guy you bought the seats from. Pretty funny to log on here and see your post. I am just glad to clean up my garage a little bit! Hope the seats work out for you in your truck.

Look at these for a comparison. I think you got a steal of a deal.

**alex 68swb** · 01-04-2013, 10:02 PM

Just got my blazer out of the transmission shop. Next on the list is to get the body mounts changed and the rockers fixed. I've got to get the drive shafts replaced also. What part of the valley are you moving to?
