Thought I'd share

Its been awhile since I've posted on here. Had to pull the blazer out so the boys could play in the garage while I worked on a car this morning. We had a bunch of snow last night and I've never had the blazer out in it at all, lol. Even though it was just the driveway it still looked sweet. I'll never regret building this K5.

Re: Thought I'd share

That is gorgeous! I really like the wheels. Gives it a cool "modern offroader" look but are still subtle and classy.

Well done on a great truck!

Re: Thought I'd share

Beautiful truck and well pictured in a natural setting for it. Mine is the same "Fly Yellow" under a layer of primer. At first I wasn't too fond of that color but it is now growing on me after seeing the possibilities as shown here.

Play in the garage? Heck, tie an inner tube to the K5 and haul them through the snow I like the wheel well trim - nice looking K5.

Re: Thought I'd share

We had 6 feet of snow one year, and my dogs would climb up on the roof of my truck. It was only about a foot high.

Re: Thought I'd share

Did all K5's come with the hard top from the factory?

I believe the hardtop was actually an accessory....as well as the soft top.

Re: Thought I'd share

Beautiful blazer. Both tops were ads ins. It's On the spid. Stock blazers don't have a pasenger seat or rear if you didn't want it added in. Everything Was a add On. Base blazers were very spartan. It's amazing what wasn't just Part of the truck back then. No radio no ashtray no cup holders. Lol. You got a truck and that was it if you didn't want anything but a work truck.

Re: Thought I'd share

I am new to these blazers and was asking because I know where a solid looking white hard top is here in KY. I thought the OP may be interested.

Worth a look if it is a good top.

Re: Thought I'd share

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I currently have two single wall hardtops. The plan is to find time and fix them up. One smoothed out and painted white or yellow to match and the other coated in rubber bed liner. The first step is to find the time. My current project is a family car, its taking most of my free time. Bought it cheap and trying to keep it cheap, not having any luck keeping it cheap, about like the blazer. 03 SRT4.
