My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Picked up this 1971 K5 about two months ago and I figured why not start a thread on it... I mean, that's the cool thing to do.

It's currently a 4x4 but that'll change soon. Everything is stock, 350, runs good.

Here's a few photos and more coming soon. Don't know how quick of a build this will be but I'll update what I can as we go.

Cheers! :ito:


6/4/15 Update: Here's the official rendering

Congrats!

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

A couple photos from about 2-3 weeks ago.

Old sticker says "WARNING - If you value your own life as much as I value this truck, don't f*** with it." ;) ... didn't even notice that sticker until about a month ago.

A few more before the tear down...

...and it begins #c10crew #c10club #chevyonly :ito:

Removed the front clip and seats last week.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

and here's how it's looking as of now...

Top removed, then the whole frame came off.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Thanks! I'll try to update it a bit more...

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Hmmm, you are giving me frame off thoughts. Bad!

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

How are you going to convert it?

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Legit...gotta love NorCal Chevys

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Gotta love progress, I'm watching this thread,,, keep up the good work.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Keep it up! More updates, please

At one point someone had the idea to insulate the Blazer using spray foam. Sucks removing this crap... not sure if there's any way to remove it easily but we just dove into it... oh well, did that for a bit today and called it a day.

Also thanks to Rene 'C10 King' for pretty much giving me a "new" white bumper, my old one wasn't in the best shape... :metal:

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Or maybe it's good? ;)



I also own another 4x4 frame that was converted into a 2wd, looking to go with the Porterbuilt stuff to lay it out...



Exactly, we're working out of my brother's house in Atwater, the home town of C10King :metal:



Thanks! Will be updating it as much as possible.



Just updated it a tiny bit more... had some stuff to do today so had to cut the day short. Next up, gotta order some parts to keep it going.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Just read thru your build. Subscribed Glad to see your going with Porterbuilt.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Killer blazer project! Looking forward to following along. :metal:

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

are you interested in selling the original 4x4 rolling frame?

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Looks cool. I'll be watching. You work quick.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Thanks! I'm just like anyone else, gotta wait about 3 months, but it'll be worth it!


Thanks!!!! :metal:


Got a couple of people already interested, will let you know if it's still available once I'm 100% sure I want to get rid of it...


Thanks! My brother and I are doing it all but we've just been busy with other things, plus waiting on parts these last few weeks...

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

So the guys over at Accuair are fast as hell :devil:

Waiting on the Porterbuilt parts and super psyched to say the least!

Been busy these last few weeks but we'll get back at it soon...

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

The fine folks that painted my blazer before the po bought it used that foam crap in the upper windshield post, I'm trying to fine something that will desolve the stuff, gonna try gas, I know it melted a minor bucket when I was a kid,lol
Keep us posted NorCal,,,,,,

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Well I'm in.. Pretty friggin pumped to follow along actually...

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Signing up for this one. Previous owner of mine was a fan of spray insulation also. Such a pain to deal with after the fact.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Finally got the rendering of the Blazer completed.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Gonna be a killer build! I'm going along for the ride. :metal:

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

That's gonna look badass.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

interesting haha... let me know if you find something that works, i still have to fully clean it up myself.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Thanks, so am i!


Yes, what'd you use to remove it?

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Thanks, will try to update it as much (and as quick) as I can.

sure hope so!

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

A couple of shots from the drop member...

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

...and the notch got worked on over the weekend as well. I'll try and get back here and update it more often. Slowly but surely... placed the back wheels to see how it's going to look.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Looking good. been following this on instagram.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Cool thanks! Definitely update it there more often, just like to put it up here as well for everyone else that's not on IG.

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

What's that factory Color? Is that the 505 dark green?

Re: My '71 2WD Blazer K/5
 

Color looks almost exactly like yours, could be? I'll have to check...

I'm curious to know what it is. Mine just says special order fleet colour. No paint code. But it looks a lot like yours. I'm trying to find out what my code would be, pretty sure it's the 505 but not 100% sure.

Looking awesome! I'm actually quite jealous. I wish I had the stones to cut mine up.
