Hey Guy's

I finally got my act together and started working on the K5.
Incase you didn't catch it the first time around, heres the story on it.

I have started with the easy stuff like taking out the interior and such.

Last night I started working on getting the engine sorted out. Took the 305 off the stand and got the 350 on it. Than I took the goodies off the 305 and mocked them up on the 350.

And finally a pic of my Blazer and Regal waiting to be worked on.

So its only been about five years but i finally started working on the Blazer again. It took a while to get the fenders off because i guess the last person to assemble it welded the fender to the lower tabs. Both studs looked like they were rusted off so I guess that explains why.

Hopefully today or tomorrow the doors and tailgate will be off, than the top and tub off on Wednesday.

I remember looking at that thing when it was for sale at the farm house on 59(years ago)

My advise is KEEP THE STEELIES.

Good luck with the rebuild.

looks like there might be some spare parts laying under it

Kool K5 · 09-25-2012, 11:32 AM

@ BobbyK - That's the plan on keeping the steelies, but I have to find a matching set of caps for the other side.

@ oldschool18 - Unfortunately over the years its kinda became the scrap metal spot LoL.

Turn that scrap in and get yourself some new parts........keep up the progress
