I just stumbled upon a set of seats out of a 2001 Kia Rio. Quite comfortable and adjustable and they have arm rests. also pretty thin back rest that will give you more leg room.

FYI I had the OEM seats for my truck and I rushed headlong into having them recovered in a newer style material, they turned out Ok , not real happy with them but water under the bridge as they say.
What I really don't like is how HIGH they seem to sit, so I went to the bone yard last week and found a set of seat bases from a donor 90 truck. They are at the fabricators as we speak, I cut 1&1/2" out of the center of them and they are being welded together as we speak, hopefully it works out!!
I'll post a follow up if you care

So I have them back and installed, what a difference, instead of feeling like Im sitting on them I now feel that Im sitting IN THEM if you get my drift, money WELL SPENT !!!!!!:cheers:

That looks like a great seat setup you have there! What are the seats from, the side bolsters look more agressive than stock GMT400, but I guess you could have added that when re-covering. Also, how much did you have to shell out for the 2007+ center console?

They're the factory seats specific to the 454SS's

What year is the center console from? I’d like some cup holders other than what’s on the dash.

Here's the seats I bought online about 5 or 6 years ago, they were expensive though ~$1000 with drop shipping to a DC dock.

What are my options for leather WITH the rear seat entry release? 94 Blazer (2 door), I'd love Esky or ~98 Suburban/Tahoe seats but no rear entry.

Your best bet is to find leather seats out of a 95-99 Classic extended cab at the junk yard, if you can even find them. Most of the time they're gone. You could try Ebay too.
