In my 85 s10 extended cab I have the seats from an 02 yukon. Just flipped em over, and took the rails off them. Then when you peel back the fabric on the bottom of the seats you will find a new set of bolt holes about an inch and a half inward of the yukon size holes. Mount the seat brakets into the new holes and drop them into your s10. I dont think they will move much without the ext cab though, but should work. Doors close fine, no room for a center console between them anymore. Its almost like a split bench with armrests in the middle. Awesome mod having huge cushy seats in the mini truck.

Yea didnt notice the other section until after i posted here. Im looking more for factory like seats. Didnt know if new gen seats would fit or not. I definatley want a center console too.
So does anyone know if new blazer/s10 seats will fit in there?

First you need to find the bucket seat brackets from a first gen. 2nd gen seats will fit with the correct brackets but are wider and hit the door panels. My buddyhas a 93 ex cab with a 95 60/40 seat in it. I would look at other options first that fit better.

I have seats out of a pontiac sunfire in my blazer that were 100% bolt in. They sit a bit lower but I'm tall so I like the head room. Camaro/firebird seats also fit. I've even heard of guys using other seats by making them bolt to the brackets but most any GM seat will fit with the correct brackets for the floorboard and be about 100% bolt in.

^^ x2. I was going to suggest the cavalier/sunfire seats too. It's probably the easiest and most popular seat by far. For what reason, I do not know. I hate those seats, but if you're looking for direct bold in thats what you want.

There weren't my first choice. I was looking for f-body seats but came across these in the right color out of a 2 door for $25 for the pair. They are a lot better than the first gen bucket seats and they grew on me pretty quick. If I ever find a set of f-body seats I'm gonna throw these in my truck tho.
