What seats do I have?
I just bought a 72 Blazer project, and the seats need recovered. I assume they are recovered sport seats. I just want to make sure that I order the correct covers.
Do the reproduction covers require the plastic seat backs? Thanks. |

Re: What seats do I have?
They might be recovered utility buckets. The underside parts look right. But the upholstery is weird and they have a metal backer (not vinyl).

Re: What seats do I have?
What is the dimension of the mounting bolts on the driver seat?

Re: What seats do I have?
It's going to be a couple weeks before I can get the driver seat measurement.
I found a picture of 73-77 buckets that look similar, but they don't quite match. Most likely they are utilities with upholstered covers. Thanks for the help. |

Utility buckets do not have tapered sides on the backs.

Re: What seats do I have?
they look like utility seats.....the original ones have a metal back that looks like the one on the left...
the one on the right is a sport bucket that had the plastic back replaced by a vinyl cover... it's from a '70 as seen by the outward release hook This utility seat is from a '71....it has the center and outward release as well disclaimer: This post is for information only.....it is NOT a for sale, or offer for sale, post...lest it be misconstrued as such.

Re: What seats do I have?
I took the seats apart, they are Hi-Back seats someone cut the tops off of. The frames look similar to the sport seats, except they don't taper towards the top. I think I'm going to order new foam and modify the frames if I need to.
