emphasis on 2dr. And i'm talking about the back seat here.

I think he's just talking about a stock back seat out of a 2nd gen 2 door.

I thought he meant a 2nd gen rear seat in place of the 1st gen rear seat. Unless the 1st gen rear seat is one piece, I don't see how the 60/40 would add any capacity.

Did any (S-series) Blazers ever have a front bench?

Well, I was thinking about buckets in the rear for a while, but the loss of cargo space would be a pain. And initially I was talking about putting front 2nd gen buckets in my 1st gen but that's already done (they fit-- beautifully). The rear seat in the 1st gen is one piece though, and I would really like a 60/40 back there. So I could, y'know, carry 3 passengers AND camping gear for all of them without resorting to my rooftop box or utility trailer. Or 3 passengers and a bicycle. Just looking to expand the versatility of the space back there.

Id measure it out and see to start. If they will fit length wise then if your handy you can make it work. Remember nothings impossible

Early base models, most had a bench, 5 speed 2.5.

So what you are asking is not 60/40 front bench seat but the folding back seat out of a 2nd gen. Yes thats been done and I plan on doing it myself. Gonna remove the headrests on the one i do cause they are in the way. You have to use the 1st gen seat brackets and mod a bit but the guy that done it told me it was pretty easy.

he was talking about the rear seats from a 2nd gen 2 door, fitting in the rear of a 1st gen 2 door.

i really haven't looked @ too many 2nd gen 2 doors, since i don't own one, but why not take a really good look @ your truck before you go into the wreckers next time? even take a few pic's of either truck to compare to the other one while standing there?



ok, just ignore my post. didn't even see that there was a 2nd page in the thread!

guess i should hit the hay, i do need to get up in 4 hours or so to do my rad.
