Best place to buy repro or OEM k5 parts?

[cooterbrown]

I just picked up a new project. Can anyone list the best places online to buy repro or new OEM parts for my new 91 K5 project?

I'm starting witht he interior. Need new carpet, seat covers and dash.

Also, will the front seats from a later model suburban/silverado bolt into a 91 blazer? How about back seat?

Pumped about getthing this beast on the road...

Looking forward to any advice on parts suppliers.

OE parts will mostly come from the dealer, which is a crapshoot.

The fit and quality of aftermarket parts of course varies. A coupla popular outfits:

In general, no, newer stuff won't bolt up to your truck. The '92+ trucks are very different from ours. Your best bet for donors will be 87-91 Suburbans and Blazer/Jimmies, as the pickups changed in '88.

Look in the tech section of the forums, 496truck did a swap from a newer Silverado into his Blazer. THere was definitely some fab involved from what I remember
