Needs some help.... 72’ passenger seat mount/brackets

Even a correct low-back Blazer seat (with original brackets) doesn't "flip forward" all that well. IIRC it still hits the windshield and doesn't really give you all that much clearance to climb into the back seat either. If you have a lifted truck, it's incredibly awkward trying to climb into the back seat through the passenger side door anyway.... much easier to just grab the rollcage, climb on the rear tire and throw a leg over the bedrail. :)

Ultimately, I just gave up on the factory mounts and built a set using the modern Sparco tracks so that both the driver AND passenger seats could slide forward and back as desired. The factory mounts never allowed me to slide back far enough on the driver side to be comfortable, but with new mounts the seat goes WAAAY back and almost hits the rear step-up area at it's maximum setting.

I am really interested in the rig you put together to adapt the new seats to the old mounts. Could you share some pics and let me know what it took? My '72 is in bad need of seat upgrades. Thx!

I have a pair of seats I've taken out of my '72, both aftermarket high-backs but on OEM mounts. Let me know if you are interested.
