Re: My K5 Blazer Story.

It's funny how these projects can change direction on you. I was searching for a transmission for my project and ended up buying a whole other truck that turned into the one I rebuilt.

You may want to save your windshield frame and top from the 75'. I have seen a few people on here convert them to the newer 76-91 body style. It sure is cool to have a fully convertible rig!

The plan is if somebody wants the top, we'll have my guy that does all the glass at our shop pull the windshield and then we will chop the header out. The windshield is pretty new and lacking the normal stone chips we get around here plus the gasket is brand new when I had my guy put it in.

Time to cancel the insurance on the beast and organize a plan of attack to take the parts off I'm planning on keeping for use on the 91. Get the little stuff done here before we trailer it over to the busted knuckle garage. Too bad is snowing now.

Re: My K5 Blazer Story.

I know I am excited to get both of the K5 projects going (Zoomad’s GSA Tan Border Patrol K5 and Ian’s CUCV). Going to be fun spring and summer helping you guys with these. Just need to finish up the Polar Bear engine swap so we have room in the Bigassgas Garage (previously known as the Busted Knuckle Garage ) to get going on these. Wish I had me a K5
