Just found these while searching on ebay http://dixiemontecarlodepot.com/items/DM00157.htm
They showed to fit blazer also.
I will be ordering a set soon to see if they do fit, This is one of the few parts on the interior I had not been able to find. I had to glue mine back together and paint, they still just looked ok.

So I fill this is a big score for me if they fit.
 
When I found this on ebay it showed to fit 87-91 Blazer seats. I haven't called them yet to get a set to see if they do fit.
 
If these actually work then I'm sure just about half of us on here will order one. Them dang things are broke on every Blazer/Jimmy I've seen.
 
The side pieces that cover the hinge? They should be the same as what half the GM bucket seats used in the 80's. Examples are Camaro, S10, Cavalier, Celebrity, Monte Carlo to name a few. Heck, even the Cimmeron used them.

Well, then that is cool. The ability to replace my broken Pass. side seat hinge cover is a reality then. I just don't understand why LMC or the others don't sell these parts like this company does. Unless they are making them at their own factory.
 
I forgot to mention that there were some Camaro's with a deluxe interior option. One thing that was included was a fuzzy felt-like covering made onto the hinge covers. So if you look hard enough, you can find fuzzy covers that would match the seat fabric very well IMHO.
 
I just need to order a set to replace mine. They are broke and i glued them back. This will be big for my interior if they fit. After redoing the interior it suck to not be able to put new ones on the recovered seats.

Just ordered a set of grey ones. Should have them this week, will let ya'll know how they are when they get here
 
Cool. I was looking at the red ones but I'm not sure if their color red is the same as Carmine red. Or if ordering grey ones then painting/dyeing would be a better choice.

Let us know how good your covers work.

I will. if you are going to dye them just order black they are $20.00 less.
 
Why not just find good used ones? I'd be worried that those aftermarket pieces aren't contoured correctly. The pieces shown in the picture look like the texture is a little off too.

All the ones I found were no good. I will let you know how they aer soon.
 
As long as they match who cares if they matched the original texture. I'd be happy to cover the ugly hinge and spring again!!
 
Seat trim

Figure my second post should one that helps somebody out so here goes.
This one took me a while to figure out.
Maybe what I found out can save you some time and money.
The repo eBay ones are for El Camino & Camaro and aren't the same as K5. Neither are the GM factory ones.
Drivers fits as is the same as K5 but not passenger. Looks just like drivers but for passenger side.
The K5 passenger side is different BUT the '89-'94 S10 2dr Blazer non power seat passenger side trim is the exactly same, just different part numbers.
The xtra cab truck passenger bucket SHOULD be the same as well but can't confirm that. Don't know about 4dr S10 Blazer. I looked at damn near every GM platform from '87 to '91 to find the match.
Hope this helps!
I got pix of the pieces if need be. Think I even have GM diagrams.

Bring on the pictures. I viewed the ones from the el camino and the other chevy cars and they looked to be the same. Chevy is pretty lazy about re-making new parts for every car. They like to use the same part over several platforms.

So if you have pictures to show the difference that would help prove that there is no chance the stuff will work. Even if it is close I would fab it to work. As finding salvaged ones in an kind of good condition is a pretty dead end road anymore.
 
Talked to them this morning because the ones I ordered have not showed up yet. Said they were shipped straigh from the supplier. Should be here by the end of the week. I will post how they are then.
