Jack, Seats are out of a 2003 Mercury Mistique, think the year is right. I had to make alot of modifications to the seats to make them work on a G-Body floor pan so they were not to high. I am planning to pull them and install the Malibu bucket seat brackets and install the factory seat tracks on a great set of 88 Blazer buckets I picked up.
 
Here's my 79 bu wagon before i worked on it, the day i brought her home, 200ci 3.3l all 95hp haha

^^ im digging the ol baby moons!

I have a chance to buy some old corvette rims, they are 15s, totally thinking of ditching the 17s ive got and going with those... Although, I could always leave the big rims for street cruising and the vette rims for the track next year

Andrew,
They're great looking seats, very racy appearance. I'm sure it was a chore fitting them in there. There were times when I was looking for seats and saw some nice ones, but they looked like too much work to install. But I suppose if you want something to fit bad enough, it can be done. I took the easy way out and went with Monte Carlo seats. Just had to weld in the center mounts to the floor.
Post some pics of the Blazer seats when you're ready to install them.
 
Jack,

Here are the Blazer Seats, I will dye them Black.

V/R, Andrew

Nice seats, Andrew.
I guess they're easier to retrofit compared to the Mercury seats. I kinda like the Mistique seats better. That's just my opinion. But then again, you're the one that's going to be sitting in them.. :lol:

I like the later style light switch. What vehicle did that come out of, and are they fairly easy to retrofit?

Will the blazer seats directly bolt to the G-Body tracks?? I also like your headlight switch..Tell us how you did it 🙂
