'72 K5 Blazer CST = Yet another Build

[47thriftmaster]

Finally a little bit of an update, been hard at work and no time to work on the Blazer. Well Finally I've had some time, this past week, and was able to get some things worked on.

I made my decision on the wheels a while back, went with the 15x6 wheels, should look good. Out of the 5 wheels set I bought only 3 were good, they are cleaned and coated and waiting on 2 buddies to join them.




I cleaned up the front end of the frame, plugged some holes that were drilled into it for some reason. Got it back to the stock set-up for tow hooks.

The holes cleaned up.



Then welded.



Sanded, primed, and re-shaped the tow hook hole.




Frame is now off to be blasted then coated. I cleaned up all the front and rear axle parts so I could put them together. Got some bad news on the rear posi, one plate was cracked on both sides.
