For the voltage regulator, couldn't you adapt the cover of the Sears one to the new one and now you would have the look of the old with the function of the new...just a thought for you...

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Looks awesome! I love that interior. No matter what you decide to do it'll be a nice truck. Although I prefer to see them on the ground

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
You guys got me thinking... I really like the look of BBrendal's Blazer on the 15x8s with dog dishes. I know Stockton Wheel makes these in up to 16x12 to accept factory hubcaps. Hmmmmmm...[/QUOTE]
It would look awesome dropped on some steel wheels and stock caps. |

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Haha! You are just like me, I can always find an excuse to modify my trucks. Even though I know I probably shouldn't

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
More tinkering. Found out I had a nice little leak at the upper corner of the windshield when it rained the other day...
I knew I was missing the drip deflectors (on order), but this leak was coming from a different area. Looking around, I found that there were no bolts in the visors holding the corners of the top down (!), hence the drippy-ness on the floorboard (and my leg). Grabbed a couple of stainless, 5/16-18 phillips screws, 2.5" long (thanks for the info, forum search!). While I was at it, I also decided to replace the PO's ugly top hold-down hardware with something a little more 'correct' looking--at least to my eye. Not going for a concours resto here, but the hardware store bolts just were not doing it for me. Did a quickie polish on the stainless top hold-down strips, too. Much mo' betta now

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I'm loving this blazer exactly how it is. BUT, if you still want a blazer to modify, and don't want the guilt associated with molesting this original, we can trade straight across. Trust me, there is no guilt in modifying this blazer.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Nice pickup on the Blazer, I hope to one day have one to go with my 68. I'm subscribed to see what you do with it.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I thought for sure you would cut this thing up. I am sure I will dig it no matter what direction you go. I am a little partial to Highlanders.
