PLAN B
This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy.
And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
I was absolutely not planning on doing this but for $30.50 + tax i figured why not...
I put one in my K5, its great. If you put the seat a little bit too far forward when you build mounts you can fit a 40" tire in the back. I reworked the stock mounts so I can still fold and tumble the seat.
I'm thinking of copying merrick garages design and having the front hinge right even with the step up. Hope that gives me enough space to store a 40.
Today's kids nap time progress.
Finished the roof, did one bedside and about half of the hump up front.
Yes overkill for this car. Just practicing/seeing the results before I take the time to do my nice truck

I'm putting my enterprise headliner back in after the cage install.
My goal is to get my full interior back in post install. Even if I have to modify things to make it work.

That's cool.
So those that have done the 3rd row seat upgrade, did you put your front and rear brackets at the same height? I ask because in the yukon the front bracket drops below the floor and the rear sits above the floor.
If it made front and rear the same it looks like it may lean back a lot. I'm going to use shock tabs and copy merricks current design

I ditched the 3rd row brackets and made new ones using the blazer brackets and additional steel. I wanted a flat floor with the seat folded for loading gear. I sat in the seat a bunch to make sure the tilt was right. Its one of the reasons I tossed the 3rd row brackets and made my own.
Any pictures of what you did? Does it still tilt and everything?
Getting dark out, I will try and get a few shots tomorrow. Yes, still folds and tilts forward. I unbolted the blazer latch from the back of the original seat. Unbolted all the latches from the new seat. Made a bar that bolted across the bottom of the new seat and welded the blazer latch to it. In the front I bolted another bar across the bottom of the new seat and added hinges to bolt it to the original blazer bolt holes.
Little more progress today between meetings. This stuff is slow going but coming along. I started with the shitty spots first. Hoping the floors go fast.
it’s looking great!
Got a little more time tonight to do a little more. I can say my patched together floors sure look better hidden under this stuff lol
Here are my seat brackets.
Stock Blazer latch, welded to a piece of square tube.
Holes drilled to pass bolts through square tube into seat. Piece of large angle with some industrial hinges welded on. Bolts to stock holes in floor.
You have to unbolt the seat to remove it from the vehicle but with it folded the floor is flat, no brackets in the way of cargo.

I like that more than the Merricks Garage version especially if you ever plan on flipping the seat up. His just screams tripping hazard to me.
floor patching and sound matt install is looking great!

I am obtaining a junk blazer back seat from @blazinzuk I am going to copy this idea.
My between meetings progress for the day, I need to tape and finish rolling but man I'm close.
I may hit you up for some measurements and pictures of the front of the front bracket with the seat down
The front piece was some big angle, 4x4 I think. I cut a bunch away to lighten it up, left what was needed to bolt to the seat and weld to the hinge. You can see some steel welded to the hinge in the previous pic to make it longer to reach the bolt in the floor. This allows the seat to drop down forward past the rear floor when it folds up.
Here is 1 lousy pic I have of the front, you can sort of see where I cut away the 4"x4" angle under the seat to save some weight.
