Re: Buddy seat for 71 blazer?

They definitely won't be a direct bolt in. The bolt patterns in the floor of the blazer are different than the trucks. It will dimensionally fit in the front of a Blazer, but new holes will have to be drilled.

So two issues to deal with are:

1) The center buddy seat does not have a fixed back. It's meant to rest on the back of the cab. So you'd have to fab something up to keep it from folding all the way back.

2) The torsion boxes of the Blazer will be covering some of the holes you'll need to drill in the floor for the buddy seat. You may be able to unbolt the rear covers to gain access to the areas where the new holes will have to be drilled to reinforce that area.

There may be other options that may work better for you? There's a lot of good info on this site about people adapting different seats into Blazers. Good luck!
