Your blazer is looking great. Glad to see a one man crew can tackle a project like this.
Nice K10! Body looks solid. I like the look of the black painted grille insert. Thought about doing that to mine.

Since you are just starting the tear down, my first bit of advice

1. Take lots of pictures
2. Bag and tag every piece of hardware with correct name of the bolt and part it goes too. What the service manual refers to it as. When I bagged an tagged some bolts and wrote down descriptions to what I thought the part was instead of the correct part/description it will be confusing 6 months from now

Good luck on your build. I'll be following along
