Re: Direct bolt in easy find seats 84 camaro

Where are you located? I'm in MN and currently have a beautiful Camaro interior that my buddy put in when he owned my car. Only problem is I'm a Knight Rider dork and I want my Recaro interior back. Felt bad telling him, he put in a ton of work to find and clean nice parts and it looks great, I'd like to get them to someone who would really appreciate them.

Eh, probably not worth shipping that far for cloth junkyard seats. Have you tried searchtempest?

No matter what seats you get I'm pretty sure you need to swap over your 3rd gen sliders to them. I just installed 97 Sunfire GT seats in my 82 and needed to re-use the 82 sliders.

4th gen seats are a 100% direct replacement. Have a nice (looking) charcoal set front and rear in my car, came out of a 98 Firebird that was rolled over.
Unfortunately I was all excited about how nice they look and realized later that the foam on the drivers seat has seen better days. Still better than my factory set where the drivers seat was showing the metal frame on the side of the seat.
So with that being said my recommendation for the OP would be to make sure to test out any potential donor seats and make sure you like them first.

It's a little bit of work, but I bet the passenger and driver seatback foam is the same. You could swap the foam side to side.

I just did this on my 86, I found a good passenger seat and swapped the foam over to my driver's seat where the rods were poking out of the foam. Much comfier.

If you swap the Camaro brackets to the Blazer seats it'll likely bolt in without issue, unless for some reason they are too wide or too tall.
Most GM seats to my understanding will almost always have different brackets, but the place the brackets bolt to on the seats themselves are always in the same place.
