1980 K5 Blazer
I have owned 2 other blazers but this is my first 2WD and the first one i have seen in person. I have owned it for 4 days now and am loving it. It needs a few rusty holes fixed and a few other little things. I dont have many plans other than to drive the wheels off! I am going to hit the back roads now if the fumes dont kill me. It is running a little rich at the moment.....I'll post pics when i figure out how.

Re: 1980 K5 Blazer
I would really like to have a 2wd. You are very lucky to find one. Do this to upload the pics.>> When you go to post click on the little paperclip, then the browse, and then click upload. After click the arrow next to the paperclip and pick your pic.

Re: 1980 K5 Blazer
The more I drive this around, the more I know I am in love with this thing....
I had a buddy tweak my carb today since it was smoking and running so rich. Now i want to start working on the rust and maybe lower it a little. I love the static look with the stock rallys. I am new to the 2wd world. I also love the patina look.... |

Re: 1980 K5 Blazer

Re: 1980 K5 Blazer
i have also been thinking about painting the rallys the same dark gray as the factory stripe on it. i think that will look killer so i guess we'll see....

Re: 1980 K5 Blazer
Isn't it awesome to just jump in a square body truck and go for a spin? Just something about them that the new trucks don't have. Yours looks like a fun ride, great pics
