Heeeeeey, it WAS cold

Back in the south now and I'm sweating. "How to: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5" thread coming soon. Lots of ideas for this one, but not exactly sure how it will end up. I would almost feel bad for doing anything other than an NOS resto...

cool! i was bummed when i found out you sold the last blazer, interested to see what you have in store for this one

babyblueoval · 12-22-2012, 04:25 PM

Gringo,

It's time to update your signature too. There's only 3 trucks down there. lol

gringoloco · 12-22-2012, 04:41 PM

She's home! More pics, threads, and sig updates to come. As for the McGyver comment--those coat hangers were STOUT! Prolly coulda made it home, but didn't want to chance it. No problems the rest of the way. Oh, and the kids love it

**67cheby** · 12-22-2012, 04:53 PM

AWESOME, Congrats !

killer71 · 12-22-2012, 07:05 PM

<---- :Jealous/:

My daughter is pushing me to add an early K5 to the collection. Don't want to give up my TBSS tho for a parking space to get one now tho. Still jealous!

We're still planing to move to the country so we can spread out, grow some nice veggies, and I can have a proper shop and storage area so that I can keep everything "out of site". I'm sure I'll be getting in trouble when "then" comes tho...getting caught hiding projects behind the shop that won't fit inside.

gringoloco · 12-22-2012, 11:21 PM

Why not combine the two? An AWD/LS2 72 Blazer. Hmmmmmmm...

Now you're talking!
I see an LS in the blazer's future.
Congrats on the early Christmas present. Awesome addition to any Chevy
Collection.

aggie91 · 12-26-2012, 03:17 PM

Got to get some of it sitting in the snow in the south....

gringoloco · 12-26-2012, 09:08 PM

Super Nice work on your truck, I actually want mine to look identical, except i am going with the chrome arm mirrors and woodgrain trim. I'm thinking about the hotrod flatz steel blue. Here is a VW bus thats painted using hotrod flatz steel blue

Street Smart · 12-27-2012, 09:43 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kool bus, i really like the paint.

gringoloco · 12-27-2012, 10:38 AM

That's a good color, too. I thought about doing that for an old Air Force truck look:
