89 K5: bench seat

[buckallred]

89 K5. What years of Silverado bench seats that fit well? I know that virtually any bench can be made to fit, but I'm looking for the easiest/best/most obvious choice. It obviously needs to seat 3.

I currently have a Dodge front bench in mine. Know how stupid I am? I had the effing thing installed before I realized that the seats don't tip and slide forward, so the kids have to climb over the bed rail every time. Massive fail on my part! I also don't love the Dodge seat anyway.

Thanks!

To my knowledge, Blazers always were equipped with buckets to allow access to the rear. The main reason a bench seat from a squarebody truck is because the floor is different. Blazer floors are flat from door to door where the pickups have a hump in the floor to clear the side saddle fuel tanks.

Mine is a mix front 99-06 seats. Passenger slides forward but not as much as the stock k5 seats. 2017 console folds up and has seat belt and alot of storage inside the seat cushion. Rear seat is 3rd row Tahoe. Don't remember year. Need seatbelt extenders for the rear seat. belts are short for older kids

@formercruiserhead Awesome photos! Explain what you mean by "a mix" for the front seats? Your setup looks like what I want. 3-seat bench with console/storage. That is a chevy silverado 99-06 seat?

thanks!

88-98 gmt400 bench/split bench works.

Sorry should have written that better. Front seats are 99-06. I got rid of the console that came with them because it had no usable room. The 2017 console has the cup holders and alot more storage and seat belt for middle passenger. Took some bracketry and welding to make it work but I like it.

I have seats from a '98 Dodge crew cab 1500 w/a center console and they slide and fold forward plus they have a grab bar on the back which helps the rear passengers get in and out. Granted, I wouldn't have installed them myself, but they came pre-installed on the Blazer I just bought and I kind of like 'em. Apparently, the rear seat of the crew cab is about the same size as the rear seat of a Blazer and has had the cover swapped.
Here's a cruddy pic, the seats are currently out to deep clean and add vinyl flooring or I'd add more pics.

I used jeep compass seat in mine for the front and mounted them on some 2" square tubing. They sit a bit high but have great reclining and slide forawd plenty. The center consel is out of a 19 Silverado. The back seat is out of a 2016 tahoe Denali. Which I will eventually replace to front with leather to match as the ones I have now get dirt easily. Not the best pics but heres my setup
