Has anyone put seats from a newer model GM truck in their Blazer? How did you adapt the seat brackets? Any pics?

Thanks
James

Yeah will be doing this in a couple of weeks. Still trying to get settled in. I have 99 grand cherokee seats in there now an made my own brackets. This time I might just drill new holes in the floor and mount using some 1/4 iron for extra strength. I haven't look at it reall close yet.

What kind of seats are you going to use? Where are you getting them? I found this place in Iowa online that sells newer GM Leather seats. I haven't checked on prices yet but they look pretty sweet.

Check on ebay too! They have lots to offer and maybe if you find something close you can save on shipping

jamesjones if you are talking about the shop in cedar falls i think they are really expensive it is cheaper to buy on ebay. Just be patient.
I am using seats out a 2002 tahoe and silverado. the front seats are out of a pick up adn the rear seat is out of a tahoe. I will see if I can post some pics this weekend.

Yeah, probably a good idea. Thanks for all the help and info. Man I have to stop coming on this board. Every time I do you people give me a cool new idea that I want to try. I was planning on just restoring my Blazer and adding a lift kit. Now I'm mulling a 67 front clip swap, 700R4 swap, 14Bolt rear end swap, A/C dash swap, and new style seats. This place is going to brake me. :p In all seriousness though thanks for the info.

Thanks
James

P.S. 1970Blazin let me know when your husband finishes those rollbars. I never noticed but looking at my Blazer yesterday I noticed that I'm missing the bars that slant down to the rear. I might as well replace the whole thing.
