I was at a local car show here in WA.,and was talking with a gentleman who had a nice 65 C10.I asked about the seats, and he said he got them out of a blazer(not the full size),and did not have to drill new holes.They were split buckets with the fold down armrest?(dang now I cant remember),but I do know they were out of a small blazer.

Drilling the holes isn't a problem, getting seats the proper height without using spacers is.
my buckets came from the back seats of a astrovan and were the proper height If you don't want spacers you would have to use truck,van, seats not car.

If they came from an S series Blazer, they would have to be from a 4 door, the 2 doors had bucket seats standard. i would think that S series bench seats would be a little narrow for a '60-65. They would also be too low, as Gazim stated. You might try late Siverado seats, get the right hight and integrated seat belts too.

I just bought some 2002 Silverado seats for my 65 Chevy. I like the idea of the integrated seatbelts. Haven't put them in yet so don't know the amount of new drilling I will have to do but will let you know!

I used a seat from a mid 90's Silverado. had to drill a couple holes but the dimensions are almost exactly like the original. Much much more comfy !!! They are plentiful and cheap in salvage yards.

My Silverado seats are in my truck and I am really happy with them!! The hardest thing I had to do was drill 8 new holes to get them in. But I feel much safer in my old Bolt now with seatbelts.

I've got 89 Camaro buckets and console in my 65 and they look and set just right on 2" risers and some fab work for the console, witch is pulled ritht up to the bottom of the dash.
I also used the E- brake and the factory radio . all the litte little lights and glows are cool at night.
