High Back to Low Back Bucket seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have seen you guys take non Blazer bedsides and convert them to use on a Blazer and Non Blazer doors converted to use on a Blazer so I thought I would ask if anyone has taken a later model set of bucket seats such as those used in the late 70's and modify them to be low back. I wonder how close they would be and if you could use the seat backs available from some of the venders on the site on them. I don't know if new seat foam will need to be obtained or if the taller seat back foam can be trimmed to fit. With original buckets becoming hard to find I thought this may be a good option. Thanks
