i believe this is correct

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Just rewire the aftermarket radio. All it needs is constant and switched 12V, ground and the speaker wires. Just used a constant hot, and a switched hot from the fuse box. IMO that would be much easier than trying to fix the hacked up mess you probably have....

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

im gonna fix my wiring i would rather have a factory radio than aftermarket anyway

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Went to the junkyard today and got the original tow hooks they were just laying on the truck. My question is where do these bolt to on the frame and what type of bolts should I get

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Up here i'd use grade 8,or the gold ish coloured bolts,so it's not the weakest link

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Thanks motornut

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I got the tow hooks bolted up a few mins ago. I also got my radio wiring fixed today and have a stock radio in it but I found out it's junk and will have to get another radio but oh well it does look better with a stock radio in it. I also got a clock and cluster lense out of a 83 Silverado.

That interior is a real survivor! Those center caps on the wheels are a nice bonus as well, all the color is still good. I see you replaced the missing piece of grill trim. That truck really is a peach.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Thanks the interior is in GREAT shape the only thing left to really do to the interior is recover the headliner. I replaced the gauge cluster surround with another one out of a 84 diesel so thats why it has the lights at the top between the speedo and gas gauge my only reason for replacing was because someone cut my original for that stupid aftermarket radio. The grille trim was a must it looked bad and it came off the 84 diesel also I replaced the top piece and the right fender piece.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I guess I would call it a NICE SCORE to get a Blazer like that for 1500.00
You said it was a Project, Are these before and after pictures? Or after pictures?
No matter It is easy to see this blazer got a good home.
Looks Great! It is not easy to find a Blazer that nice these days.
Good Luck with it.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

This pic of the engine was when I first got the K5 it was really dirty and the air cleaner tube was missing. The after pics are above of the engine bay I still need to paint the air cleaner lid and I may do that this week along with the grill trim if I can find a close enough red.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I also need some ideas for the exhaust guys. I want to put a dual exhaust on and needs ideas I don't want nothing crazy.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

wow..... I love this thing....

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

The Center Piece of the grill painted red looks great. It adds a lot to the Blazer. What did you mean you "Got your grill painted", Does that mean you took it to a body shop for that paint or you painted it? Just curious

Exhaust.... I always like the Deep sound of 2 1/2" to 3" pipes.
