The more I read the forums the more I seem to read about rust. I guess I was really fortunate to find the Blazer I bought with no rust. This is a picture of the floors before restoration. Not trying to brag, just lucky. Thanks to everybody again for the positive comments. I guess that this is why people want California trucks

Very common color back then looks great.

griffiths · 01-10-2013, 07:53 PM

Must not be common now as I can't seem to even find a picture posted anywhere of one like it. Thanks for the reply

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-10-2013, 07:59 PM

I think it was more popular on the trucks, but I like it alot on the blazer

That's a beauty. My floors were very clean, but not like that. Very nice find.

griffiths · 01-20-2013, 10:29 PM

Thanks, I was very fortunate.

griffiths · 01-27-2013, 08:47 PM

This is the only piece I have left after restoration. Does any body have an idea where this goes? Is about 12" long. Thanks

That goes on the driver side inner fenderwell paralell to the frame rail and on the frame side of the steering column shaft.

griffiths · 02-04-2013, 02:38 PM

Thanks Tom, I see where it goes, but not sure what it does? I have put another $7000 in paint and interior work. I was going to restore it and sell it, but I love driving it too much. That's the same story I told my wife when I bought my 68 mustang fastback and my 66 Impala SS. Thanks again for the info.

Blazer383 · 01-27-2013, 09:31 PM

That's a good looking Blazer

griffiths · 02-03-2013, 09:41 PM

Still looking for help on the photo above. Thanks

**Tom Vogel** · 02-04-2013, 10:30 AM

You got that for 5300?? Id of had the 7500 out so fast it would make your head spin.
What a deal you got!

griffiths · 02-13-2013, 05:30 PM

I can't seem to adjust the passenger mirror to a position that i can see while driving. The mirror is stock reproduction 71 72 Blazer mirror. Any ideas?

griffiths · 06-01-2013, 06:03 PM

Just took the top off and drove the Blazer for the first time topless. Way more fun with the top off. When you cruise around with the top on some people notice, but with the top off everybody notices. I may never put it back on....

I have had my Blazer for 5 years and I have come to the conclusion that there is no way to make the stock location work.

I agree!!! There is nothing like it.
Has anyone asked you "why did you ruin a perfectly good truck by cutting the roof off" yet? It gets old real fast.

Nice looking K5!!

You are not alone with the Medium Green, I found this 72 in a pasture last summer.

griffiths · 06-13-2013, 06:21 PM

Looks like its in good condition for sitting in a field. Great to see another one. Thanks

griffiths · 09-11-2013, 09:45 PM

Just changed the white spoke wheels for a used set of rally's. I think i like it better this way!

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-12-2013, 10:36 AM

Yes it does, looks great

Slinger60 · 09-12-2013, 10:56 AM

Looks sweet..

Is your blazer lifted a bit or is it stock?

griffiths · 09-12-2013, 02:38 PM

It was lifted when i bought it. I was told that is a 4 inch lift, but I think its 2 or 3.
