I thought the floor bolts were tacked. The rear bed bolts had a washer that contoured the bed shape.

Only the front-most two hex head (non-carriage) bolts in the cab are tack welded. IIRC only the bolts at the rear xmember have the washers depicted.

Was'nt sure, been about 25yrs since I gutted a K5 interior, but with the new kit from Wes, I'll be doing it again in late winter. Thanks Pete

**72 paul** · 12-04-2016, 02:22 PM

Mine were tacked in the rear as well as front.Did not look to be tacked at a later time than factory to me.Only front and rear two.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-04-2016, 02:29 PM

I redid a set recently on my 72 Blazer and only the fronts were tacked but maybe there are variations. For those getting ready to redo I'd suggest grinding and/drilling out the carriage bolt heads at the floor pan then pounding the threaded shafts out from above.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-05-2016, 03:13 PM

I am not sure witch ones tack welded and witch ones did not. All the Blazers I have replaced the body mounts on all body and bed bolts were tack welded. It would be a simple thing to do when installing the new ones too. I can see your point Pete. However unless I can find a wholesale supplier for the offset washers would raise the price of the kit $15.00 or $20.00 WES

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-07-2016, 05:22 PM

LMC's kit only has 4 offset washers in it. Maybe I should offer that as a $10.00 option... Then if you don't want them you don't have to buy them. WES

1970zz4x4 · 12-08-2016, 05:19 PM

I'm interested in a complete set. Thanks

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-13-2016, 05:21 PM

Kind of looks like we will getting enough parts to make 200 kits right now. Looking like price will be around $240.00 or $250.00. I couldn't get to LMCs price of $200.00. I just can't purchase in the quantities that is needed to get there. Hardware companies were talking in the 100,000 pieces to get a brake large enough to do so. There just isn't any way I can afford to do that. We will look into it again once we sell most of the inventory we will have. I think the 40 or so bucks is well worth it when you consider the cushions will not go bad in our kits. I am hoping to have enough stuff here to be able to ship before Christmas, but I must say that may be a little optimistic because some parts are having to be made custom for my kit. If you would like to pre-order I am excepting orders now. We do not charge credit cards before the kit will ship. It is just a way that you can be among the first to get one. So there you have it. I did what I could for now and we will have 200 excellent quality kits anyway. Contact me either by email or phone call if you would like to pre-order a kit. WES

**PDXk5** · 12-13-2016, 11:59 PM

I'm in Wes!

I just sent you an email for pre-ordering a set.

Thank you and Merry Christmas !

dirish · 12-22-2016, 08:09 AM

Awesome kit, can't wait to have installed by spring!
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
Dan

dirish · 12-30-2016, 05:45 PM

Any updates?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-04-2017, 07:14 PM

Parts are rolling in. Packaging material is rolling in and I am setting up to start building kits. I have enough stuff to build a couple kits and should have lots more coming in this and next week. Will be shipping in order that the pre-orders came in. WES

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-05-2017, 04:14 PM

This is how the body mounts will be packaged. I am including a body mount position diagram to make it easy to locate where each individual kit mounts. Kind of rudimentary but should work. Thoughts anyone? WES

By the way, I am assembling kits to ship out now.

dirish · 01-05-2017, 05:00 PM

Looks great!

**PDXk5** · 01-05-2017, 11:38 PM

Yep. I concur. Looks great!

I can't wait ...

Mike C · 01-06-2017, 08:50 AM

Thanks for your efforts Wes to make another needed quality part available! I will be order a set some time this spring.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-06-2017, 01:10 PM

I do not want to sound like I am pushing sales, but I do want to remind people that we have enough to do 200 kits and they will be gone. I haven't even gotten an estimate on the cost for new tooling yet. No timeline or anything. The sale of these kits will help decide once the estimates come in. There is a strong possibility that it may be a cost that I can not afford. Anyway just a thought for you guys. WES

**invicta455** · 01-06-2017, 01:13 PM

let me know price of the the kit

**Blazerowner** · 01-11-2017, 12:13 AM

Put me down for a set.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-11-2017, 12:05 PM

The price of this kit via this thread only, is $239.95. I am going to be adding it to my website for $269.95. I want to give you guys that have been waiting patiently for this kit a break for your patience. WES

dirish · 01-11-2017, 07:22 PM

I got mine today, looks great Wes!!!

**Tomo** · 01-11-2017, 07:36 PM
