a few guys with swb have though, make a post in the main 67-72 board and you'll find some guy who have been through the whole setup.

Welcome to the board from PA, post some pics of your ride if you can, FYI all blazers 2wd and 4x4 were denominated as K-5, there was no such thing as C-5.

Actually....they are all badged "K5" Not sure why GM chose to use the same emblems. But the 2x4's are infact C-5's.

Welcome to the board.

I'm new to this whole thing. Don't know how to post pics yet. I've been taking pics of all my progress, and will post them as soon as I know how.

chevy_fatman · 03-03-2004, 07:43 AM

puroblazers, if you need any help posting pics give a holler.

Davy, yeah I believe 2wd's should've been called C-5, I was just going by what GM offered from the factory, maybe the were on a budget and decided to use the K-5 badge instead of making the C-5?

That gives me and idea, custom made C-5 badge!

bet you never saw one of those :p

Wish you were closer I have a set of door that would be great on a 2wd blazer they have been shaved with no door handles and locks I whent back to the origanl doors it didnt seem right for a 4x4.

That is a GREAT idea. Restore a 2wd and take it to a Barrett Jackson auction with C-5 emblems on it....that would really confuse the TV announcers. Hillarious!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I will post some pictures as soon as I get a chance. I've already got the firewall smoothed, the door locks shaved, 5-lugs all-around and I'm working on putting Seville discs in the rear.
