Before and After.

I'm glad this thread was revived. Im planning on going to buckets with a center console in my 72. Once she is back to good running condition that is.

Not a huge fan of these 20+ year old high backs, but they came with the truck and are in good shape so they are staying for the foreseeable future. The buddy seat pulls up from the back for additional storage. I recently refinished the wood on the console.

These are going in my 69 blazer.

I really like the '69 two tone. Here's a nice original set in blue.

We're boring. While I clearly love that center scroll....we've only done em in black. Next set I do will have some color.

Do you make seat cover try to get some one to make my red two tone seats buckets and back seats. Got price from SMS auto fabrics for $775.00 just for the buckets didn't give me a price for the back seat.

I have no doubt that TruckWorld (they did ours) can make em however you want...I got both of ours from TruckSeats(Tim) here on the board...not sure he's still doing it. I know there are other vendors/suppliers on here that deal with TruckWorld (difficult though it may still be). My next set will go in a '70, so no two tone to worry about. But I hope you do have em stitched back to factory...it's a killer look.

I was noticing special-K's sig in another posting and he has a RIP at the bottom, I assume all former members of the board. The thread starter is one of the names listed, 72BLUZ.

Oh heck yes high-backs!

Got rear-ended in a bench seat car and didn't see it coming.

Dang near tore my head off!

Add in some truck glass just inches from the back of your head and...

My console is a subwoofer enclosure that now has a screwed in cup holder on top... so yea, that qualifies as a console IMO.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 01-29-2021, 06:28 PM

Here is my 72 jimmy with four wheel pop up camper on it. Put the original seats back in it just don't look right with the wrong seats in it.
