Front Bench in a Blazer?

[GCncsuHD]

I recently picked up a 1969 K5 for my father in law as a project. It was bought as a family project, with the intentions to make a family cruiser to take to the beach, cruise ins, scenic rides, etc. The rear bench is intact, but the front buckets were missing and the original console is beyond trashed. So obviously since "family" was implied, we want to be able to fit the family in the Blazer, so we have considered a front bench seat from a truck.

From what I see it appears a truck bench seat (or Suburban) will fit up front just fine. I have only been able to find one picture of a front bench in a Blazer, I would like to see more. We intend to get one from a 67/68 truck that will still fold forward. For anyone with a front bench, how hard is it to get into the back? We don't intend to put the top on the blazer often at all, so it wouldn't be too hard to lift kids into the back and let adults climb the tire and step over the side we think?

Any pics and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Oh and the obligatory pics of the K5



The current seating situation


And yes we have our hands full
