The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
Hello All!
Finally after years and years of searching, I finally found the right blazer for me! 72 K5 in one of my favorite colors, Olive Green! I've been after these old Hickey Accessories long before even thinking of owning a blazer at the time. Well of course, price ranging 18-20k for something that needs practically a whole new body. Any who! Traded my Square body pickup for it and now just acquiring parts for it. . Blazer is solid and originally came from Texas, curious to know if anyone may have owned it on here. Should be a very fun build and tricked out with almost everything from their catalog. Like to keep this a running post and more of documentation for me! Feel free to comment or run ideas through if you think something I could do might be better! Always have open ears! Thanks! Chris

Re: The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
Following up on the build, Thank you on the photo edit, still getting the hang of this form, I'm used to the classic Oldsmobile form style.
I got the roof of my blazer and getting ready for repairs, I'm not much with of a fiberglass guy, but some of the corners got me in questions. Cracks on the other hand should be a piece of cake. Had a lot of experience working on the ATC90 fenders from back in the day. Mocking up the roof rack for install before painting in Raptor White!

Re: The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
I have no advice on the fiberglass repairs, but just wanted to say that I enjoy a themed build and I'm looking forward to seeing it come together.
Well optioned rig originally! |

Very nice looking rig as the factory made it. Some notable options too.

Here is what I have, and a patch panel if you need it.

Re: The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
Id most definitely be interested to add those to the build if possible!
I was completely surprised by the options this was equipped with, majority will be returning to the build! Also, the past weekend, I took a ride to get another long search, Hickey Roll Bar! Super nice guy I dealt with, even had a squarebody Hickey hood I could not go home with lol. Whilst that's underway, I am working on my sidewinder winch to fit underneath the bumper for another addition to the build!

Re: The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
Do some research on the top being SMC and not fiberglass. I remember posts in the past where the SMC is a different process.

Re: The 72 Olive HICKEY Build!
Small Week update.
Honestly not too much done, waiting for Carlisle swap meet to come and go before I start continuing my purchasing! I appreciate the heads up on the SMC, and been trying to get all the bearings in order to go about and fixing that! Did get my Jerry Can in prime and paint these past few days!
