My 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer build

Okay so I have a 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer as title suggest when I was younger it is the first Square that I ever laid my eyes on (love at first site). Before I got it, it belonged to rancher that bought it new off the showroom floor it was originally two-tone White w/ colonial yellow shortly after I saw it for the first time it was painted white and when the rancher bought a 02 dually he parked this and very shortly after that my grandpa who worked for the man for around 20yrs. got the blazer to make run and sell for the man when I herd he was going to sell it I asked how much Immediately he gave me truck in exchange for helping him on the ranch and as soon as my grandpa and me got it running he let me drive it around the ranch had fun for a 11 year old in it with my grandpas supervision paid it off and continued driving it on the ranch. finally so about a year ago I tore down to rebuild the motor and cosmetic things to the body and it hasn't really gotten the attention I originally planned (school,etc,etc) but it is still moving along will post updates as they come. this is pics of before it was torn down it know primer black on the lower half cant seem to find a bigger photo of exterior on my computer just a cellphone pic transferred to computer if someone could re size greatly appreciated

Thanks as I told russgt in a different thread I'll try to get some more resent photos as soon as possible I tore it down because the rear main seal was leaking it had a few miles so now I'm rebuilding the whole engine and that has given me the chance to do some rust repair on the front clip glad that's the only rust

OK so the drive train as in my signature a small block 400 stock(in process of being rebuilt), bolted behind that is a TH350 that park doesn't catch part of the time (found out when I woke up one morning and found it sitting part way in ditch on frame. Thank you no major damage at least the emergency brake is really good) would like to convert to SM465, NP203 full-time transfer case (part-time one day or NP205 behind SM465) 3.73 gears and POSI served most of its years as a truck on a ranch i consider it a truck it will be used as a truck should be

Ouch, that could have been bad! I am partial to the 465/205 myself, but I like shifting the truck tranny.

Only damage was a small dent in the bottom of one of the quarter panels amazingly actually drove out without any issues
