78 2wd Blazer - LS Swap and more..

[phillipm]

I spent about an hour last night and was able to get the power driver's seat working again. Really happy about that. Next I ordered a new switch on e-bay. I had to jump some of the connections to confirm the motor(s) worked in all directions. Hoping this weekend to try and test fit them in the truck. Some of the welding on the seat base brackets is not great looking.. Definitely safe, but not cosmetic.

Another thing I noticed is that the passenger seat does not have the E-Z entry base. Bummed and not sure if I can add one or if the seat is completely different. If anyone knows let me know!

The newer seat can be adapted to the flip-up base, I think it only requires two new holes be drilled. There's another John here that documented this when he did it to his truck and made pics that show where to drill. He hasn't been active here in a spell but I'll see if I can find the info.

Yeah, I wouldn't think that would be too hard. Problem is I don't like the flip base as it's still a PITA to get in the back. When I was young my dad had an 89 Ext Cab silverado with the flip and slide easy entry passenger seat. That's the base I'd be interested in getting. Fold seat forward and then it slides all the way to the dash.

If I can't get that I might cut the current base apart because I'd like to keep the adjuster as well as the flip. So I'd be mashing the two together.

Cool thanks for finding that!
