1970 k5 resto - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

swyfor5 · 03-24-2008, 03:32 AM

I am starting a frame - off resto on a 1970 k5 blazer. I am looking for ideas on roll cage setups. I think this is the place to start the interior.

Do a search for "family cage"

sandking · 03-24-2008, 07:05 AM

Maybe a bit overkill for a street queen, its not done yet, but you get the idea.

Mint68 · 03-24-2008, 09:01 AM

I'm supprised no one has asked for pics of it yet.

CJ5 Convert · 03-24-2008, 09:09 AM

Where are the PICS

vtblazer · 03-24-2008, 03:08 PM

Your on CK5 to, check out MNorby's cage.
One of the nicest I've seen yet.

Good to see ya back, you haven't been around for awhile.

Where you at with the resto? Started ripping & tearing yet?

Long Roof · 03-24-2008, 05:20 PM

Heres mine, more of a street setup.

vtblazer · 03-24-2008, 05:25 PM

The red blazer reminded me about the last 'cage' thread...

Wasn't all that long ago, should come up when you do the search.

Nice K5 Long Roof.

swyfor5 · 03-24-2008, 07:40 PM

No rippin and tearin yet. K5 is still in storage. Finishing up my dad's 66 pontiac project to free up work space. I will try and post some old pictures soon. I am still researching the resto, and picking up parts as moneys allow.

swyfor5 · 04-03-2008, 09:32 AM

Wow, found a awesome looking cage setup by addicted offroad on CK5! Any more ideas guy's? Anybody know of a good shop, or ?, in N. L. Mi. where I could get one fabbed up?

Big Chief · 04-06-2008, 08:21 PM

Here's mine

JUSBLAZ · 04-07-2008, 05:10 PM

swyfor5 come down this way, and well get you set up

72blazer_mud_bogger · 04-12-2008, 05:23 AM

did you do all the welding and bending on your black blazer, or did you buy a kit and weld it together. either way the truck looks nice. i would drive my gas guzzler all the way out there if it meant i could get a roll cage like that

Big Chief · 04-12-2008, 06:41 AM

72 blazer bogger,

I had a guy here in Richmond make it for me. I just sketched a design and he did it much better than I expected. He's actually in Powatan right outside of Richmond. The name of the shop is Brett Hamilton enterprises. Not too far from Fredericksburg, probobly an hour or so.

swyfor5 · 04-12-2008, 09:15 AM

Jusblaz, thank's for the reply. Where are you located in Mi.? I'm in Marion, about 20 miles southeast of Cadillac. Getting ready to tear into this K5 again! Just waiting for funds to restart my dream resto. I think I need to fab up the cage setup before I start the rest of the project, any thoughts? Currently setting on stock axles, w/8" lift, 39.5" s. swamper tsl's, rust issues, etc. Wanting to go 1 ton, and all the way with a custom frame-off resto. Sorry for the long reply but I am really serious about this project!

swyfor5 · 04-28-2008, 07:18 PM

JusBlaz, where did you go man? That is a cool looking cage you got there! Is that your ride?, or what?
