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
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.

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
[QUOTE=gringoloco;5791768]How do you like your Softopper?QUOTE]
The Good: I like the fact that I didn't have to have a custom top made. Installation was what I expected (easy with a few hiccups - prolly just a 40 yr old rig kind of thing). The Bad: The back end is very square looking when viewed from the side. I wish that Softopper had kept more true to the hardtop lines. Also, back flap is secured to the tailgate with hook-n-loop instead of snaps. Made for a quick install but feels a lil cheap to me. :shrug: |
