Thanks for the advice, I had to replace the alternator this weekend and I got the same advice for a chrome alternator (not to do it because the retain heat and fail sooner than the regular cast metal).

Seeing your K5 is making me drool. I'am totally in love with it. Don't tell my wfe or she'll be jeaslous. She thinks i spend too much time with mine trucks as it is.

What are the specs on her?

Here's my '72 Blazer. A project of course, although the '68 burb and '68 4x4 may take over the work space in the next week or two.

Not really much done to it. Straight body with no exterior rust. Just rust on the bed floor. I'll probably shoot some flat black epoxy on it this week, maybe weld in patches for the markers lights (haven't decided yet), polish up the chrome etc. 33's with 16" steelies and a small 2" lift out back. Stock up front. 350 crate motor, stock tranny and 3:73 rear end. For being such a big beast it spins the tires easy.

Here are the before and current pictures.

10 years ago it was all the same color....working....driving....useful...since then it has pretty much sat.

Now I am finally wrenching on it again, you can see I am changing the color to orange. Hopefully this summer it is finished and I can update the picture.

Very nice. I've always liked the stock look on these blazers. Very clean. What size wheels and tires are those?

Bought it this way. Didn't want to get into a long project at this time. I bought some lower trim from you for my blue 70 4x4 about a year or two ago. Have you done anything new to your blazer ?

That 's funny you mention that. I just sent you a message. For some reason I thought it was k5 emblems. I haven't done much to mine, but drive it hard and put it away wet. I can't wait for the warm weather. I still take mine out in the cold, but its not as comfortable. I moved to Davis and bought another '72, but since this is a blazer thread, I'll post a pic.

hey guys, new to the site. just bought myself a 71 k5 blazer a few weeks ago. im 15 and ive lived in atlanta GA my whole life. my dad has a yet to be restored 72 c20 but other than i probably havent seen more than 4 other first generation blazers in my life. i used to want a first gen bronco but that changed while on my way back from the beach when i saw a topless red first gen k5 blazer. i didnt know what it was but i was absolutely in love. the moment i got back, i got on craigslist in search of my dream car. after a year and a half search with no luck i finally found the one in naples FL. I called my dad and he got the price down to 5500 and we bought it sight unseen 2 days later. almost couldnt send the check fast enough. a week or so later my dad flew down to naples and drove all the way back up to atlanta. he had just arrived at 12 am on a school night, i looked out my window and there he was revving my orange blazer, probably one of the happiest moments of my life.

here are a few of the pictures taken by the seller.

since then ive been spending hours after school working on it(dont have a wife but the girlfriend definitely doesnt like it when i dont spend that time with her). it now has the hard top on it. i removed the mud flaps, replaced the bumpers with original chrome ones(although still waiting on the front bumper brackets to put that on), stripped the entire interior, and just about done with grinding out all of that crappy grey bedliner to get it line-x sprayed. i also got new seats.

i will take more pictures this weekend to show you what all ive done

plans
hopefully ill have the line-x sprayed and the seats reupholstered and in by the end up april, which is when ill turn 16. as far as the interior, the black and orange isnt doing much for me so my color scheme will be orange and white, and maybe even some tan, especially since i plan on getting a tan softopper eventually. as far as the exterior, i need to get a new serpentine system, a new grille(billet??), and when i have the money probably a 3" or 4" lift and one day put some 35"s on it. other than that there isnt much else, and the paint is suprisingly good

anyways tell me what you think.. as a 15 year kid im not exactly an expert
by the way my friends have been doubting my dreams of a 40 year old blazer but man are they jealous when they saw it. "that is seriously so cool"

[Burt4x4]

Kickass man! Errr Boy hahah Just kidding, you don't have to bee over 21 too love a Blazer
Don't worry about the girlfriend being jellous of your Blazer..that will be happing forever and someday she will get use too it
Take your time fixin it up and never sell it!!

I just bought this '71 K5. It is an original Colorado truck, only minor rust. I look forward to lots of days tinkering on it with my two year old as he grows up and then passing it on to him.
