About the Chevrolet K5 Blazer
The full-size K5 Blazer shared the square-body C/K pickup design and offered a removable fiberglass top through 1991.
Before You Install
Check your Blazer's pillar anchor before ordering.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
Off-road K5 Blazers often have mud packed into belt reels.
Order two belts for both front seats, or Seatbelt Planet's matching kit.
Black webbing suits most K5 interiors.
Seatbelt Planet sells rear lap belts for these Blazers separately.
Chevrolet sold the square-body K5 Blazer with four-wheel drive as standard in most years, and many 1978-1988 trucks have seen hard use on trails and farm roads.
In 1982 Chevrolet added the 6.2 liter diesel V8 as an option in the K5, and throttle body fuel injection arrived on gasoline engines for 1987.
For 1987 the K5 was regrouped into the V-series naming, though most owners still call it a K5 Blazer, and the body stayed largely unchanged through 1991.
A belt for the Blazer driver seat is the one most often worn out because that strap is pulled every time the truck is driven.
Removing the fiberglass top on a K5 exposes the belts to sun, so lighter webbing colors fade faster than black or dark brown.
Owners lifting their Blazer or swapping seats should confirm the factory anchor points are still intact before fitting a new belt.
Seatbelt Planet makes many K5 Blazer belts, so compare the year range and seat position on this listing with your truck.
The K5 Blazer's rear seat could be removed for cargo, but the front seats stayed fixed, so the front belts carry the most daily wear.
Square-body K5 Blazers came in Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, Cheyenne and Silverado trims depending on the year, with higher trims offering better upholstery.
Blazer interiors from these years were trimmed in colors such as blue, red, saddle, charcoal and tan, and the webbing menu covers those shades.
K5 Blazer owners who use their trucks for hunting or camping trips often appreciate a retractor that stows the strap neatly away from muddy boots.
Blazer drivers climbing in and out of a lifted K5 tend to drag the belt across the seat bolster, which wears the webbing edge.
