Got some questions for you CUCV experts:
Are the 1009 Blazer and 1010 Ambulance the same seats?
What civilian Chevy/GMC did these come out of, someone told me S-10?

The reason I am kicking this around for my 1008 is to make room between the seats for the HMMWV a/c kit evaporator. Can you imagine how cold that cab could be with that setup?

I was told no they are not. A member here sold me NOS front seat covers for the m1009 and asked about another set he had. He said it was for the M1010 and wold not work on the M1009.

Yes, the front seats on the M1009 are the same as the S10,S15 seats on the 83 up to at lest the 86 years bother the trucks(with buckets) and the little blazers, but the colors are differant and the base that holds them to the floor won't work either.

Today I did see a 1986 K5 blazer in the junk yard that had the same style seat as the m1009 only in fabric and blue. I thought the big blazer only had the bigger butt and low back seats in them. Yea, it looked to be origanal.

One big difference with the 1010 seats is they don't fold forward. Other than that I couldn't say.

I would like to have the bucket seats in my M1008 but my Dog would not like it one darn bit. Over 2/3rds of the seat is his. I only get to use a small portion of the left side when He rides with me.

If you are after replacements for the M1009- the S10 seats that look the same as the ones you have (or should have) now are plentiful at the wrecking yard. I picked up a very nice pair and switched the bases. Painted the metal black (flat) and the seats with SEM- the paint code is under one of my previous posts. They look and feel like new.

seats2.jpg... seat hardware painted Flat Black (chalkboard). Dash was painted with SEM Burgandy Dye- from a rattle Can before I purchased correct color. It is close enough for now- Dash Mat hides a crack. :-D

jdeoliveira74, was this a direct swap out, or were modifications to the frame of seat needed. I'd be up for reclining as I sometimes find camping conditions poor when I get there.

seats

while similar in appearance,the seats are different. the mounting is different and requires the M1010 seat for use in the M1008 or M1028. I have both vehicles and agree with the other comments.

I have a good passenger seat for a M-1009. The price is right....FREE....I hate to toss it. Even has the side release cable. No base...just the seat.
I'm in Braselton, Ga.
Local pick up only.

I would like a set of bucket seats from a M1009 or any CUCV with bucket seats please advise.
Place a Parts wanted post in the Classifieds. And finding nice bolt in and use M1009 seats at this point in the game will be difficult. Finding rebuildable ones will be difficult but I think still an option. Must they be stock color? And seats only not the base pedestals? Send me a PM sometime. I can look.
