Ah ok how much is that? I am primarily looking for a vintage light bar for my survivor Jimmy.
 
Hi I just joined because I picked up a 1975 Blazer. I'm eager to start working on it but I need to educate my self on were to find parts and what years share the same parts. I found a rear seat from an 88 and I'm trying to figure out if it will work in my 75 before I make the purchase. I searched rear seat in the search bar but didnt find much.

First welcome to ck5.
Second the seat can be made to work and is an improvement but it will take more than just a couple of bolts.
The front is close, you have to oblong the holes a little and you can bolt it up.
The rear has a hook because it's a fold and tumble seat, you can retrofit the pockets from the donor or like I did, cut slots in the floor and put a 1/2" rod on the bottom.

Thank you very helpful.
 
Can you send me a picture of how you cut the slits in the floor and added the rod? The salvage yard is telling me that those latches/ pockets are welded into the floor

I don't have that blazer anymore but I can make sketch for you and the dimensions have to be verified on the seat you have.
And yes the pockets are welded so you need to cut them and weld on your floor, more work but better end result

I got some pictures from the salvage yard so I think I get it now. Thanks for your help
 
New to the forum, just picked up a 1980 k5 350/350/208. Body is a 6 interior an 8 and mechanically sound all for 700 bucks.

Needs some TLC, I already changed out all the fluids did a tune up and slapped some new brakes on it. It has a four inch lift but the wheels were miss match so i bought some 15x12 wheels with new 33x12.50 mt. Can't wait to be able to post pics and I'm super glad I found this forum
