Re: '72 K5 Blazer CST = Yet another Build

Moving forward on the build. Finished pulling both axles, all springs, then the frame. It was tricky getting the frame out, since it's just me, but I got it done. Solved my dilemma on the wheels, the 15x8 wheels will be listed for sale. Will get the 15x6 wheels blasted then checked and powder coated. I plan to get the frame blaster as well, I really just need to get a portable blaster, and get it coated as well. At the moment I have two options on the frame 1) powder coat it. or 2) have it coated with U-POR liner, sanded, then painted to match the other parts. Option 2 is a few hundred cheaper then then option 1, but if I chip something it's easier to fix. Your opinions are welcomed on that one.

Ok, on with some pics.

This was my surprise when I pulled the rear axle.


The frame out.




Also started re-doing the springs, will have two sets to make one good set.


That is it for the moment.
