Let's hope this UNBELIEVABLE company sounds like "Schmorterbuilt".

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Mike, mine isn't planned to lay frame but it won't be far from it. It'll be very close to how Gringoloco's blazer sat after he installed the PB front end. With that much of a notch the seat should strattle it just about perfectly. Seems like the legs on my rear seat are about 6" tall so that would allow you to put a 6" tall hump in the bed which should allow you to add a 6 1/2"-7" tall C-notch. I don't have any pictures but that should help. Gringo may chime in also since he's actually done it and the new owner (sorry, name escapes me) can probably give you more info also.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Of course this is contingent on an '87 bed being basically the same as a '69-'72 but I can't imagine they would be much different.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
One more thing, the padding in the rear seat is quite thick, about 6" tall. That could always be trimmed down and still be plenty confortable. Most modern car padding is only about 4" thick just more dense.

The rear seat in the k5 sets flat on the floor , no risers on it

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
from wat i seen on porterbuilds website their new stepnotch kit only needs the floor of a pickupbed raised 4 to 5 inches doesnt say if its for the square though
http://www.porterbuiltfabrication.co...-be-available! i pulled this from that tread : Originally Posted by 702wdBlazer I'm curious on this notch as well for my 2wd Blazer and if using it would allow keeping the rear bench in the stock location or at least very close to it. The top of the notch sits right at 5" above the top of the frame rail. I would guess that if you ran this notch and modified the brackets for the seat (basically bolted the seat to the notch cover) you would be pretty close. You will need to take some measurements to confirm, but I think it's doable. Nate

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Yeah, on mine the notch came in around 4" and that would have raised the stock seat an inch or so. I wasn't laying all the way out, but I like a little rake, so it worked for me.
Options would be to cut the seat down, both the bottom and top, move the seat in front of the notch, or go with an IRS. There's no easy way--part of why I ended up with the 'short' step notch. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
maibe you could try some springed seat that are basicly hollow on the inside
the ones from an old vw van are like that ![]() , you might be able to shape that frame so it will fit the stock backrest of the blazer
