I tried my hand at another K5 a few years back and definitely appreciate a better starting point!

The rear seat isn't too bad in the center sections, but the vinyl corners are worn through where sun took its toll and there is a rip on the back.

I haven't taken the front covers off just yet but based on how the foam feels, I assume they are pretty rough.

I'll check on the door sticker, I didn't look yet.

I'm going to have a lot of questions so I figured I'd start now.

There is no factory roll bar. Was that an option and if yes, does anybody make a reproduction?

Gun racks, I assume, were never a dealer installed option, but this one sure was installed in such a way that it is permanent (rivets). It'll stay post restoration.

Looks really good. Have fun with the restoration. I remember side window gun racks in all of these type of trucks growing up. Maybe a Utah thing.

Roll bar was not a factory option in this gen.
