New one will be in this week, using the stock side hopefully Get to tint and final assembly

That is one beautiful Blazer Bud!

Did you purchase it pretty much done, or did you do a lot of the work to it?

Again....looks great!

Took it down to bare frame and started over. I have a couple friends that know what they’re doing so 2 years and a lot of money later, I’m one lucky guy. It was a great experience learning so much about these K5’s

Looks great! From the pics I was assuming 35's. Again, just an awesome look!!

Spf79 · 12-23-2019, 02:53 AM

I got my rear swaybar mocked in place. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, I totally struggled, lol - it would have been so much easier with two people. I just need to take it apart and have the brackets powder coated before final assembly. Don't mind the dinosaur blanket that is on the dog's kennel. I'm still trying to figure out the nuts and acorn nuts on the link, I think it looks funny.

simicrintz · 12-23-2019, 11:19 AM

Great looking rigs, gentlemen!!

72 Jimmy Power · 01-30-2020, 12:58 PM

Took it out of the garage.

Well I drove mine to work. Again.

BIG BLOCK JIMMY · 02-01-2020, 06:05 PM

Removed old gas tank as step one for installing the EFI kit and new tank. I also figured out why the Jimmy rained gas when I filled it up! I guess the PO thought JB Weld was a good idea?
Photo of my dog, just because he's mad that I have ignored him today.

jaros44sr · 02-02-2020, 09:51 AM

always amazes me what the PO's do, you found a new one

**3757chevy** · 02-05-2020, 08:37 PM

I drove mine to work Today . It was melting and refreezing . Made for some crazy ground effects. (sorry for poor picture quality)

CamTra · 02-22-2020, 02:39 PM

Bought mine!! Looking for a rear seat now.

First test drive between snow squalls. Finished a few upgrades and repairs including installing a rebuilt TH350.

**SoCoC10** · 02-26-2020, 11:08 PM

Bath time. “0000” steel wool and CLR followed by a coat of wax.

Pics please...

**litebulblsc** · 03-07-2020, 12:53 PM

Replaced a busted headlight retainer. The screws from LMC are incorrect, so reused the originals. Also replacing the gauge cluster. Going to order a connector so it won't be done today

**mortoyz** · 03-07-2020, 11:38 PM

Put the new LT Motor/8l90 transmission in the Jimmy today. Not sure why the pictures are upside down and sideways? Name: Jimmy1.jpg

I agree with the screws, no where else are they used, the pointed end helps to align. I alays keep extras around

for the life of me, can't figure out your backgroud, is it a truck part?

The circle is around what looks like an anti rattle bumper. Mine had foam blocks stuffed inside the lower area where the latch rods are. That looks like it could be a stock piece.
