I've been kicking this one around a lot since I found my junkyard Blazer buckets. At first, I thought I wanted to get them covered in a nice cloth and build a custom console (I'm fairly handy with wood tools) and have it covered to match. Then I got to thinking about how well that cloth would hold up. It seems truck seats get abused a lot more and the seams tend to tear out on that cloth.
Now I'm leaning toward buying the console from a 73-87 Blazer (I know where one is and I can probably get if for $25) and re-covering the buckets in black vinyl. I like how the Blazer console is somewhat similar to the original console and doesn't cover the heater vent on the floor. The downside is that if I built a custom console, that's where I'd put my stereo and I can't really do that with the Blazer console.
