wtb 73-77.5 low back buckets, minimum good frame

Im looking for a set of low back buckets i believe were available till 77 mid production year, i think blazer seats might be the same and if so ill consider Them. Also, do they mount up in the factory bench seat slots or do i have to customize to get them to work?

All i really need is good frames and hopefully good foam, i plan to get them reaphulstered(sp?). Include cost and shipping if you could.

Bucket seats are the same for pickups/Blazers/Burbs. If you are putting buckets in a truck, you will need pickup bucket seat brackets, or you can modify Suburban bucket seat brackets to work. Make sure you get the front inner floor tabs from either if you plan on putting them into a truck.

Here is a bucket seat article I have on 73-87.com, should answer some of your questions.
