Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST

So... no woodgrain... Glad I asked. I did see the door panel inserts in LMC.
More cleaning including a cowl vent full of leaves and other stuff. Fortunatally, I dont see any rust thru. I was able to get the engine to fire. Changed the oil, pulled the dist. and used the oil primer just to be safe. Had to replace the starter too. Only ran a few seconds because I was just putting gas in the top of the carb. I picked up a set of rally wheels on Craigslist for $120. Not perfect but they match the Blazer. I needed 2 tires so ordered them and swapped out the others. Those rusty wagon wheels were just ugly! I'm much happier with the look now. Fuel system is on this weekends to do list.
