Oh wow cool, then it is the truck. I actually live just down the street from where it used to be and it always peeked my interest.

Truck looks great by the way!

Its actually a procomp tool, it was less expensive than the comp cams tool on summit. I got it from pace performance for $87. But I dont suggest getting it from Pace unless you want to wait two weeks for it. Great tool though, super easy to use. I was worth every penny and more.

HELP!!

I've got my 5.3 running with a harness from PSI (lt1conversion.com) and it works great but the engine won't turn off with the key. I have to unhook the battery to stop it. My fuel pump and PCM are hooked to switched 12v power. Has anyone delt with this? Any ideas on a fix?

Scott Ivey was the guys name that bought it from me. He was from Wilburton. Unfortunately Scott and the k5 were lost in an accident. these are last few photos I have of the old blazer.

Such a tragic loss. Its been hard to think about all the work I and scott put into the k5 to make what it was. Its been years since the accident and I'm looking forward to the future and getting back into the truck scene. I'm undecided on starting a new build thread or continue on with the history of this one. We cant wait to see everyone at c10's in the park!

That's terrible. I don't know how OK it is to post a picture of a crashed vehicle someone died in. My other two cents are that your signature should probably just end with - sold.
