Blazer went to body/paint shop

Last Sunday, the K5 went to the body and paint shop. Hope to see it again in a month or two.

Re: Blazer went to body/paint shop

The original color was medium bronze. I can't stand it so that isn't an option. My 70 SWB K10 is Hugger orange and I wouldn't mind this one also in Hugger, but my wife does not want two orange trucks (even though she rarely even gets in any of my old trucks). So, I leaning towards red or black.

Re: Blazer went to body/paint shop

I've leaned either red or black on mine but settled on a bright metallic silver, its a tough and major decision to pick a color if your not going back to stock, I also considered a metallic black.

Re: Blazer went to body/paint shop

Yeah, I am excited. I will be stopping over to take some progress pics. BigBlu72 I really like the blue too. Randy- it will have some of your parts on it. I wonder how many member truck restorations have transplants from you?
