That's exactly what I was thinking.

Sure is a good lookin' K5!

bouncytruck · 04-29-2008, 08:58 PM

I was thinkin' it's VT's old rig too. Either way, sure looks nice.

What did you do to the floor to reinforce it for the new seats with integrated belts?

Great lookin' seats, same ones I have. Looks like a solid K5 too. I really dig the liscense plate!

NuBomb · 04-29-2008, 10:37 PM

I've got the same seats also. Mine was originally that color too. Very nice blazer. Welcome.

swyfor5 · 04-29-2008, 11:18 PM

Great looking ride! What kind of seats are those anyway? They look great, welcome aboard!

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-30-2008, 12:08 AM

Great job, looking really good so far

**Thealien** · 04-30-2008, 12:14 AM

What are those seats out of? Were you able to use the original bolt holes in the floor?

I like it.

BLUE THUNDER · 04-30-2008, 04:34 AM

Great lookin' rig. I've got those same seats in mine. How'd you mount them to the floor? Mine are just sitting in the truck. Btw, is that a 4" lift and 33's? Regardless, sweet ride. Welcom from San Antonio. Mario.

**OleSenna** · 04-30-2008, 04:47 AM

Sweet ride. Looking forward to rest of the story...
