My 87 K5 Blazer project
Hey Guys
Here is my 87 K5 project. I bought the K5 off craigslist for $1500 bucks and it was VERY nasty when I got it. I've had the interior out and cleaned it up really good. I need to Get a K5 emblem for the fender,get the tailgate trim,fix vent window that shattered,fix passenger door trim, and get the rest of the parts I need for it. I'm probably going to remove the footsteps on it I'm not really a fan of them. :chevy: I will get pics up in a few minutes. Korey |

I finished polishing the paint on my truck today it isn't perfect but it's alot better than what I started out with and I'm very impressed with the results. Tomorrow I think I'm going to start polishing the wheels, clean the glass, and polish the chrome. I'll get a few more pics up later

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Got to really test out the 4x4 tonight my buddy got his Silverado stuck and I was a last resort so I had to go pull him out and I must say the K5 did a really good job and I'm VERY proud of it.
|
Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Got some stuff at Autofair for the K5. I got some new 4x4 center cap decals and two Chevy truck license plates.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Just a heads up, that body-color stripe in the grill is factory. So when you painted it black, it looks like you scored a grill out of the junk yard off a black truck. At least to those of us old enough to remember them new.;)
If you don't like the body-color stripe, I'd try a silver just because it'd match the headlight bezels. And if it doesn't match good, you can paint the headlight bezels at the same time. You've brought the truck around well - nice work!:metal: |

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
I vote for silver and match the bezels.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
This week hopefully tomorrow ill be repainting the grill and bezels. If i go to the junkyard this weekend im gonna try and find some factory tow hooks. Im also thinking about putting the factory bumperettes on the bumper

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
I think there are some tow hooks in the FOR SALE section.
Also...I think the bumperettes get in the way of the tow hooks by a little bit. |
