Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
I hope he doesn't mind me posting this....we'll get better ones once it's hauled over. This is from the ad...I'm a little jealous of how much he's getting it for, considering I paid about 3k more.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
It looks pretty nice. Better than when I bought mine for sure! Did he get any spare parts with it?

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Well it needs a new gas tank and needs to be tuned up. It starts but had a hard time staying on. I think just the usual...plugs/oil/tuning thing will get it going. We'll see.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Well Guys, It's Finally Home. I Am The Proud Owner Of A 1972 Chevy Blazer Cst. Thanks To Blizz For Finding It For Me. I Had It Running Last Night For About Twenty Minutes Before It Shut Off. I Saw It Move Under Its Own Power When The Guy Backed It Off The Trailer And Drove It Into The Driveway. I Can't Wait To Get To Work On It. It Has A Lift And Sits On 35's, A 350 Or 305; I Havent Checked It Out Yet. The Front Seats Are Not Origional And The Top Needs A Lot Of Work. I Did Get A Set Of Replacement Floor Pans. Once I Get The Electrical Up To Snuff I'll Take It Over To Blizz's For A Work Day.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT! Im pretty excited about another one in town. I'm still waiting on Blizz to be the body work guinea pig, maybe you can take yours in first. We all need a body man BAD! Get some pics up and let us know when you take it to his house to work on it.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Noway...I'm first....besides...the (body shop) guy owes me! Yeah, I like that we now have one more...it's gonna be sweet when we all pull into a gas station on the way to the lake. I mean you just don't see these anymore and to see 4 of em in a row is just gonna be awesome. I check craig's list daily...and that one day I found it 20 minutes after the guy posted it. $1,500! Not bad at all huh?

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Well i got blue thunder running again. I might need to get a starter soon and a carb. The rochester sucks. I drove it in the driveway, but thats about it. All the lights in the dash seem to work fine, even the signal lights. I thought that was pretty cool. I pulled up some of the carpet and found a little rust, but not too much. I even took some off with a grinder. I also ordered the door pins and bushings today. I can't wait to really get into fixing it up.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Yeah, Blizz is my brother. He called me at work and let me know that Blue Thunder was on Craigslist; cheap!!! So i called the owner and made a deal. I hope to get new pics on as soon as i learn how to upload pics to the page. When it comes to tech stuff i'm flost; but get me around anything mechanical andi'm right at home.

Re: so with my brother's K5...that makes the San Antonio area
Those are probably the sought-after 72 only extreme bend tow hooks.The rarest and most valuable of them all.You will need to subscribe and post a WTB for the sidemarkers
