Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
Your welcome. I buy them bulk, so about a box of 5000 when I get them.

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
+1 on the above!! VERY NICE LOOKING!!!! curious... would share a rounded up rough cost for the result? I am guessing it is more than a set of buckets from a third party vendor or a yard, but the result is much nicer too!!!
great job!! looks terrrific! |

Seats and console $800 Seat brackets and welding $400 Seat covers $360 Restore console $100 I think the 75-77 Blazer buckets are the best looking buckets GM ever made which is why I bought this style. Seems like now they are even harder to find than the 69-72 style buckets. Also wanted the Dark Blue paint combo with dark saddle seats, reminds me of the 73 Cutlass Supreme I bought new in 73. And THANK YOU for the nice comments

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
I agree. And the dwindling number of 69-72 buckets has contributed to the dwindling number of 73-77 buckets as guys will modify the frames to convert to 69-72 style. I’m so glad I got my five pairs when I did

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
This thread just helped me tremendously. I have truck buckets from a '75 going into a '75 that all need restoration. And I'm putting them into a cab with a whole new high hump floor, so this thread has me double-checking everything for fit. I'm hopeful that I have everything needed, especially the L shaped brackets that apparently weren't needed on the 73-74 low backs but are needed for the 75-77. Either way, hooverfish, your set-up turned out great and I'm pumped to restore my seats/console. I had just messaged USA1 about long wait times and it appears that is still the case. Yikes.
I'm trying to build a truck in 90 days to drive to Dino's. Oh well, I'll sort something out.

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
Nice job, everything looks great! Just curious, could these have been bolted on?

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
Some people did bolt them in but access to the bottom side can be difficult if there is a fuel tank in the way.

Re: BUCKET SEATS in a 1984 ??
New product from Squarebody Rescue in PA. Looks like they started reproducing the 80s style seat brackets.
