K5 is back from paint

Picked this blazer up a couple months ago for $700. It had a bad tranny but it was rust free, ran great, and the interior is very clean. My tranny guy rebuilt the 700r and I dropped it off for paint. Still need to get the front bumpers and some trim back on it but I think it turned out pretty good. I'll get some more pictures in a couple days

Re: K5 is back from paint

Yea, love it! Great find for $700 and no rust....I wish mine had no rust. I keep my eyes open for rust-free panels and hope to repair sometime in the future.

I've always liked the Red and Tan look.

Post some more pics on the rest of the truck.

Re: K5 is back from paint

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm dying to get this thing put back together but I dont think I'll have time for it til monday or maybe tues morning before the christmas stuff starts.

Anyone have any idea how to clean the wheels on this thing? I dont think the PO ever cleaned off the brake dust, so they are pretty messed up.

Re: K5 is back from paint

Ahhh, so that IS your truck for sale. Saw it a few days ago on CL and wondered if it was the same truck. Get those wheels polished somehow and that will help! Looks like the rears are covered with brake dust....

Maybe a Mother's polish or something?!?

Do you know if it's at stock height or a mild lift?

it is. I've tried everything to get the crap off of the wheels and nothing has worked, I think they are toast. Its got a 2" lift and 31*10.5"s right now, if it doesnt sell I'm going to get some new wheels and some 33"s and it will sit just about right

Got someone coming to look at it right now, i hope it sells! Going to order a new car trailer with the money
