I saw that one for sale. It looked like a great deal. Congrats on the purchase and post some pictures when you get it home...

Cut down the windshield a few inches and lay it back to make it a roadster. Shave the side markers in the rear. Shave the fuel filler and install a LS2.

It's a conversion, right?

Did you see the truck where they raised the bedrails to match the doors? It looked really nice and not quite as obvious what was done.

Was it a 4wd converted to 2wd, or is a factory 2wd?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-01-2008, 06:31 AM

It was converted, still a great buy, congrats

Sounds like some awesome plans. I really wish the factory would have went the extra mile and made the bedsides the same height - that is the only thing I don't like about the K5's. Keep us posted on your project!

Sweet Blazer. I say that one on eBay but forgot to track it.

Rokcrln · 11-04-2008, 09:40 PM

Looks to be a good start with great plans. If you have not been told yet Pic's are a must every step of the way or we have the right to complain, wine and act in general like a Honda owner!

Sounds like a plan! Any inspiration from the Fessler K5? Looking forward to the unfolding saga.
