My blazer currently has front seats out of a Nissan 350Z I believe, and I hate them. does anyone know of a good bench seat to swap in that would fold so I still have access to the back seat. I would love one with a fold up center console or just a 50/50 split bench seat. I already have brackets that are under the Nissan seats so I would just have to drill new holes for whatever seat I swap in.
 
Just to make you aware of some hurdles. Blazers have different floors than pickups. Obviously can be overcame via mounting brackets.

Any single cab bench seat will fold forward for access to the store behind it. Just gotta find a 60/40
 
I think I'm gonna measure out the seats out of the 88-98 trucks and see if both front and back seats out of an extended cab from that year will fit because the are a dime a dozen and most have a built in center console. I would go back to original K5 buckets but i don't like the center console that came stock with these truck. I want function but aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

Forget about the extended cab back seat in the blazer. Thats a waste.
 
I swapped a bench from a early 80's chevy truck into my blazer using a 88 truck bench seat bracket.

The truck floor was very similar to the blazer, all I had to do was cut a 2 inch or 3 ( can't remember) to shorten the width so the tracks lined up with the bench seat holes and then I took square plates and drilled the holes to match

Took half a day to make it work, plus it utilized the cable and lever of the 88 brackets so the seat still moved way forward since it was out of a extended cab.

Or a popular seat choice is the 60/40/60 seats out of 99-07 chevy trucks. Extremely comfortable and can be fitted easy.

Finding manual sliding seats that are not wore out are hard though since you find them in work trucks mostly but wiring up the driver seat for power isn't that hard and there are plenty of LS packaged Chevys out there that are wrecked with nice seats

60/40/60 for when 100% of a seat isn't enough.
