New here. Looking to ask the community what to look for before buying a 71 K5. No new thread permissions yet. Maybe I need to post to get them first.

That is perfect thank you! Side note. The one I am looking at only has two seat belts in the rear seat. I assume any k5 rear seat can handle 3 seats if I get an extra belt?

It will be tight.
The seat is narrow because it's in between the fenders.
Kids might be ok 3 back there.
I had a 74 k5 that I cut down the inner fenders enough to clear a van seat on k5 brakets and that fit 3 adults

Good info. Thank you. How hard is it to find and put in front bench seat for 3? I actually have a 69 bronco right now and that has been a problem. Finding an OG bench seat or anything similar looking has been really hard.
