Just curious to see if anyone has done the Blazer tank swap and then made their pickup cab floors flat to allow more/better seat options. Would this change even be possible?
-
Sounds Very possible. Unless you want to make the floor pieces yourself the only trucks with a flat floor are the medium and heavy duty trucks, like a C50 or C60. They have almost the same cab, but a flat floor since the truck cab sits so high over the transmission no hump is needed. I don't think they're enough alike to just swap cabs, but the floor should work.

You won't gain much distance.

Nevermind what I said... I was thinking about the tranny hump, not under the seats. I don't think it's flat under the seats?? But it will have no tranny hump which you can't use without a high body lift.

All the cab floors are the same up to the C60's (just sold a floor kit to an owner) the tunnels on them are like a normal 1/2T 2WD. The humps under the seat are still there. You would gain nothing for all your effor as you would end up having to build a seat mount (which you just removed) to make it work. Blazers are completely flat from the bottom of the toe board back, Pickups angle up to the rear of the cab, you would have frame issues if you wanted to drop it down flat all the way back. A lot of work for nothing in my opinion.

Thanks guys...it sounds like a no-go. That's why I asked!

I am considering it on my choptop to allow a little more head room. (Im 6'2) My truck is chopped 4 inches, so I think getting the seat lowered about 2-3 inches will help. I dont see the need on a standard cab truck tho.
