**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-29-2008, 01:53 PM

Love that blazer...

**Nobby** · 11-29-2008, 04:13 PM

Thanks Guy's, I'm having so much fun driving it that I don't want to take it apart to paint.

gringoloco · 11-29-2008, 07:36 PM

Super nice!

I need to get back to work...

**Nobby** · 06-06-2009, 02:05 PM

I'm finally getting to my interior.What do you guys think about my fold down rear seat?

losangelesk5 · 06-06-2009, 05:27 PM

Nice Truck! Where's the fold down rear seat from? I dig that!

HuggerCST · 06-06-2009, 08:54 PM

I like it! Looks great Nobby!

**lolife99** · 06-06-2009, 11:15 PM

Love the stock original look. Is the rear seat a later model (73-87) blazer/suburban seat with the older original upholstery?
Also,... how does it attach to the floor?

ANTHONY67 · 06-07-2009, 07:04 AM

Looking good nobby just got me a 70 4x4 not for long.

Yeah, what he said..

I would love for mine to fold down so need more specifics.

70k52wd · 06-07-2009, 09:17 AM

The seat is nice. Will it tumble also? Very sweet truck, great job.

**Nobby** · 06-07-2009, 11:35 AM

Yes it's a 87 blazer rear seat.The top corners were square so I cut the frame and welded some round tubing to match the seat cover.We added some foam to bulk up the back and bottom and installed the 71 covers.The seat folds and flips up.I cut the brackets 2" on the buckets and bench cause I like to sit low and ride low

Thanks.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-07-2009, 12:23 PM

That is very cool! Did you take any pics of the modifications you made? I'm pretty impressed!

**Nobby** · 06-07-2009, 12:33 PM

No, it happen so fast I did't have time to get the camera

babyblueoval · 06-07-2009, 08:25 PM

Can you take it apart and take some pics?

*1sik52* · 06-07-2009, 08:33 PM

Love it. Did you not have to notch your floor for the step notches?

Ok. In the pic it looks like the seat is sitting on the floor. I'm gonna have a hump for my notch so mine can't sit that low but I'm wondering if it's comfortable to sit back there with the seat that low?
I am planning on dropping the legs down so it's almost sitting on the notch but was wondering if would be uncomfortable for an adult. Kid's will be sitting back there most of the time but if I come visit you and wanna take you and your friend for a ride.......

romarti0825 · 06-08-2009, 04:09 PM

That is awesome!!! I love the seat.

No it's just a c notch and the pumpkin just touchs the floor when aired out.

The seat is actually about an inch off the floor and is pretty comfy because the new foam raises you up some.It is mostly for the kids.When the grown ups go cruise my short friends ride in the back

So, are you short? Cause you may be in the back.

I was gonna wait till after paint to install my factory grill but I couldn't wait that long so I ditched the tube grill for my factory one.Here's a couple pics from a show last nite. Later Nobby

**lolife99** · 06-21-2009, 08:10 PM

New grill is much better. Like always,... it looks GOOD!
