I've tried it a couple times, didn't seem to work. I haven't really researched it yet.

Nice! Well good luck with the k5!

Ok, I've got a bunch of pics to share, then some questions...

Newtz67 · 04-28-2011, 09:43 PM

Tried out my new sandblaster from harbor freight! Just a quickie job to see how it would do. Not bad for an 8 gallon 125 psi compressor and a sandblaster that I got for $15 on sale and with a coupon! haha

Newtz67 · 04-28-2011, 10:02 PM

Now, on to the questions. Is this the original middle seat for a 68 suburban? It seems to sit too far back, and you can see the chain that the ppo had in it to keep the back from leaning too much. Thank you for any info!

jbclassix · 04-28-2011, 10:35 PM

Pretty sure it's not OE...

Ya I don't think so. It sits so far back that it doesn't leave much room for the back seat.

J*ROD KUSTOMS · 04-28-2011, 11:10 PM

the middle seat was there when i got it, the 3rd seat came off a 74 k5

Thanks Johnny, ya I knew the back seat was a newer one but something about that middle seat just doesn't seem right, even though it bolted right in. hmmm

The guy you bought it from didn't mention why he had it chained up did he?

J*ROD KUSTOMS · 04-28-2011, 11:41 PM

just that it would go too far back...

jbclassix · 04-28-2011, 11:46 PM

That may be some old-skool aftermarket deal for a van or suburban... maybe its's an International Travelall piece...

jbclassix · 04-28-2011, 11:51 PM

It is an IH piece

ebay... they got good research pictures. And I thought I recognized the full-length bench with the wheel well reliefs. You should take a look at a travelall, they are definitely an SUV engineered WAY ahead of its time! I would take an IH second to a 67-72 GM any day!

Sorry Newtz, don't mean to cloud your build thread!!!

Newtz67 · 04-29-2011, 11:22 AM

I haven't really been able to find pics of the factory seat that should be in mine. Does anyone have pics of the middle and back seats, showing the mounting of the middle seat? Thanks!

heeroyue2002 · 04-29-2011, 01:50 PM

Here ya go... Hopefully these show you what you need. I know they aren't the best pics... Haha

If you need some more, just lemme know.

P.S. These are from a '72, but I think the mounting is the same.
