Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered

Great work TKCR.

Seeing what you have done has got me wanting to do my seat. I can and have done all my mechanical and body work for years, but I have now decided to tackle the seat.

Best advice I can give, if you decide on a new foam, plan ahead and have everything on hand. It takes time once you order items, to get them, especially from USA1.

Re: Bench Seat, Having it Reupholstered

do you/anyone know whether an 81-87 bench seat will bolt into a 89 K5?

Yes, the K5 Blazer Suburban and Crew Cab retained the truck platform until 1991. The tracks are just a bit different.
