Re: 1971 k5 blazer roadster Arizona
Sorry i don't have the first steps of the blazer teardown... I started by removing the camper, filling the holes, shaving the doors, removing the vent window, shorten the door, sealed/welded closed, chopped the window and pillars down, and refit the front with a 67 front clip!!
