CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

Over Christmas I played around with my brother's bender and swapped in some 2000 model Silverado buckets. I'm a novice, so it's not perfect, but I think it looks pretty good considering it's not finished. Obviously, it still needs some grinding, some corners rounded off, some paint, and some scrubbing on the seats to look decent. I've also got one of those MIP floors from LMC to go in after the roll bar/ seat mount is finished (plus it'll go in easier when it warms up). Eventually, I'll build a more complete/ braced interior cage off of it, and next time I go home I'll fab up some sort of a center console.

As for the specs: All of the tube is 1.5" .120 wall HREW. All of the flat bar/ angle iron is .25" thick. I used most of the original seat and seat belt holes (including the one on the B pillar to tie in the roll bar) as well as 8 studs welded to the floor behind the seats to bolt it in. The whole thing unbolts as 2 pieces and is removable.

Anyway, here are some pics. I'd get better angles but taking pics in a standard cab is sort of tough.
