First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Hello All, I'm new to the board. But, allready you folks have helped me solve several problems. To be honest I don't know alot about cars but I'm learning as I go and I really appreciate the knowledge on this board I wouldn't have known where to start. The broke windsheild, the leaky steering pump and box, the crushed oil pan, the transmision that is pouring fluid out the pan, the NP205 that is leaking worse, or the wiring hack job that at least works on the outside. Thanks in advance 'cause I'm gonna have lot's of questions and hello from sunny New Mexico.:hiya:

Welcome from Washington! Born down there in Ft. Sumner. Family in Las Cruces & north of Las Vegas, NM. Dig the Blazer! (you came to the right place!)

Welcome to the board, let the fun begin.

Enjoy the ride.

:welcome2: Spent a year stationed in Alamogordo. I liked Las Cruces. Always made my wife take me to the Red Lobster. mmmm... :lol:

WELCOME!!!:metal: I don't have a blazer, but I wish I did. I think that you'll love the blazer more than the CJ5. You might not be able to get into as tight of spots with the blazer, but the parts are so much beefier and being a chevy, theyre a lot more interchangable(sp?). I take it that the hum-vee in your avatar indicates that you're in the military??? :metal:

Welcome to the Board.... Looks like you have really nice K5. You'll have those few issues you mentiond fixed in no time. The body looks to be in great shape. Congrats...

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Congrats on the new Blazer - looks nice. Welcome to the board as well...

I recently bought one - but is hasn't reached me yet (still in shipping:( ), but that just allows me to stash some cash to do some things to it once it reaches me :)

Sounds like a lot of fun (little) projects to learn more about your Blazer (and cars in general) are coming your way.

I would agree with what others have said - you came to the right place. If you can't find the answer by searching this forum - just ask the question - and chances are somebody has done it or has some knowledge on who does know.

I would agree with you - the pinstripes ARE pretty neat!

:welcome2: from Oregon. It looks like you have a nice solid body to start with. The other stuff is normal for rigs our rigs, but it is all just part of the fun. :cool:

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Awfully clean looking K5 - I can't see any rust! That is a huge plus if it is rust free. Welcome to the board!

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Thanks all, I appreciate the help any advice is more than I've got now. Charlie, I just work for the military that Hummer was mine and a few other contractors. We shared it in beautiful Camp Speicher, Iraq last year.

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Yes sir it's clean it's got like half an inch of paint on it and shows to have been originally red on build sheet. There is some ( very little) cancer on the driver side rocker under the door and in the floorboard on the passenger side were somebody let water get under the floor mat and sit but neither is to bad. The front left fender and door have got some bondo in a couple of spots. But she seems pretty good all around.

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Looks like it just needs a coat of wax and a front bumper and you're good to go (of course, ya might want to fix the mechanical issues before you drive too far from home.)

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

:welcome2: from Madera, California. I miss New Mexico; lived there for a couple of years in Corrales and then Rio Rancho. Looking back, wished I never left because it grew on me after awhile and was definetely alot more laid back than here.

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Sweet ride. I too recently purchased my first blazer, and love it!!!! I'm sure you're going to have a blast working on your new rig. I know i do. Later, Mario.

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Thanks all, for you comments. I hope she's as good under the paint as she is above it.

BLUE THUNDER you a native to Texas? me too. I just moved here (Las Cruces ,NM) I was born and raised around Ft. Worth. It's allways good to here from homefolk.

Re: First Blazer - Project 1969 K5 4WD and sweet pinstripes!
 

Yeah, born and raised in Texas. San Antonio to be exact. There are several of us on the board from the S.A. area. BLIZZ (my brother), Critter, Jtrux, and myself. We all have blazers that we work on every chance we get. Well take care in N.M. and give us a shout if you have any questions. Later, Mario.
