Will I devalue?

My original 1969 plain jane blazer if I put a console into it? I would have to drill holes to install it.

I don't think a 69-80 type console will fit between utility buckets. They're wider than the sport buckets.

That is what I was wondering, if it would fit. If you find one that does, you could always find some magnets and bolt those to the console, and then have it stick to the bare floor, no holes that way.

If you put an original style console in it, I don't think it would devalue your truck. At least not in my eyes.

I agree it shouldn't devalue it at all. Although I don't think the utility seats came with a console from the factory, it would be a nice addition and a place to store things.

I was able to stuff a console in my 1970 blazer with utilities. Fits nice and tight and the flip seat works as it should. Thinking of not even bothering to bolt it down.

It will fit but it will rub the passenger seat when you flip it forward. I know because I put one in my 71 Jimmy with factory utility bucket seats.
