Back Seat Install and Fatmat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

crzngmychvy · 06-21-2006, 12:34 AM

Just a small update on work I've put into my blazer. Board member Alnshan wanted some pics, but I figured I'd share them with everybody. These pics are a few months old, and I've been able to finish more of it, but I'll post those pics later.

The back seat is a 3rd row from a 99 tahoe/sub, and I got the brackets from ebay. The fatmat went in real easy, and I tried to cover the entire tub, but it was just short. If anyone else gets it, I recommend getting 150 sq feet instead of 100, and doubling up in some areas.

So now it's a flip and fold, right?
That's gonna be sweet.

Get those follow up pics coming.

Follow up picks please

That seat is killer too. Are you going to cover the wheel wells?

Green Monster · 06-21-2006, 05:19 PM

Is fatmat better than 1/2" jute padding sound deadener? Or would you use 1/2" sound deadener in conjunction with the fatmat?

crzngmychvy · 06-21-2006, 05:46 PM

The seat is leather and matches the front buckets I have. I plan on removing the headrests to match the fronts and look more original. The seat only folds (no flip), and is removeable.

Follow up pics will be on my webpage soon. I'm going to post all the work I've done on the truck so far.

I ran out of Fatmat to cover the wheels wells, but I'm putting in all new carpet as well as custom bed panels integrating the airbag tank, fuel filler, and sub box. It's looking pretty cool too. Everything will be covered.

Fatmat is really thin, but it makes a difference. It is worth putting in since the price is pretty good. Used in 2 layers even better and with more sound deadener I imagine even better than that.

Fatmat/Dynamat and padding plus carpet

That's the way the car audio guys do it.

I'll post pictures after I'm done!!! Thanks again!!!

Looks killer to me I need to get carpet sometime soon.....

Looks good, I have the same seat and brackets you have except my seat is cloth & I bolted the brackets in. What are you going to do for seat belts?

In the front I'm installing original belts. Probably will do the same in the back even though it takes away from the easy removal of back seat. Not sure yet...
