Re: 72 K5 CST Blazer Build
Typical Body work that needs to be done on these old Blazers. Rust in the cab corners and along the doors. My door bottoms also needed to be replaced.
When I was driving the Blazer a few miles to the body shop, I hit a deer going about 30 miles an hour. I didn't have my front bumper or grill on. However, I actually got VERY lucky because I hit the deer square on my right front bumper mount. It made one heck of a mess. I basically skewered that poor deer right in the paunch. A stinky mess but believe it or not, no damage to my A/C condenser, Transmission cooler, radiator, etc. The unfortunate thing is that it did buckle my right front fender a bit from the impact and deer body swing. I guess if you're going to hit a deer might as well do it going to the body shop. Let's hope I don't hit one on the way home....
