Re: '72 K5 Blazer CST = Yet another Build

A little update of whats going on with the truck. Got some wheels in and they went to the powder coater the next day, should get them back in the next week or two. 15x8.25, 6 lug

Started to tear things down, it's going slow so I can log and get pictures of everything. Saving what I can to refurbish and put back on.

The engine in it was frozen, so pulled it and tore it apart. Turns out the the engine was really nice inside and only one piston was rusted up. This was due to who ever put on the intake did it wrong and the water jacket leaked and filled the cylinder, and it froze. Once the piston was hammered out it cleaned and took all the rust with it, so the engine is good. But since I want to put a 72 block in there I traded it for a trigger.


Cab came apart easy.
