Hey Brad,

Sad to see it go but it will be interesting to follow another build. I wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge on this build and the things you learned along the way was a good lesson for the rest of us.

Looking forward to seeing what is next

Take care,
Tom

Guys, I super appreciate the sentiment and all your support and encouragement through this build...but I have felt lately like the only happy guy at a funeral. I keep getting condolences. My folks, my wife, my friends...you guys...but it's OK. I've got nothing but good feelings. I'm psyched Delmo got her. I learned a bunch. I got some really good before and after pics. This thread will be here...an easy re-live. And I made great new friends. It has become a great big win-win-win. I'm happy as a clam.

...and who knows...I enjoyed this way too much not to do it again.

Thanks to you all.

**jaros44sr** · 09-11-2015, 04:38 PM

Any idea which direction Delmo will take her, I mean he can't make her prettier, right?

69Tom · 09-11-2015, 06:50 PM

This one could use your touch!

Jim, you're nice...whatever he does, I'm sure it'll be awesome, even if it's nothing.

Been watching it. A lot of good stuff on that one, very original and complete...and some not so good stuff. Frame looks scary, not a fan of the 307/3sp combo.

gringoloco · 09-14-2015, 02:20 PM

So. Nice.

**IronCanine** · 11-16-2015, 08:17 PM

An epilogue of sorts...when we got done, we seemed to have a whole truck left over. I had seen the tailgate benches/shelves on the board and elsewhere and thought it'd be a useful and cool thing to have. Eric is still working the model "A" pictured in a previous posts, but I think he wanted a bit of a break and cranked the tailgate out. After we hung it...he says, "you know we could do the front too." ...How could I not?... It is kind of weird though...not necessarily like mounting Trigger, but it does kind of feel like getting eyeballed everyday when I pull in the garage....debated the 71/72 bumper...it is how it came to me, so there's sentiment to keep it. But I think I'll be on the look out for a solid one. Eric did a great job airbrushing in Chevrolet while keeping the patina vibe. Thanks again Dwayne for the taillight hardware/lenses.

**jaros44sr** · 11-16-2015, 08:28 PM

Nice touch

scf100 · 11-16-2015, 08:34 PM

Brad,that is cool.......I gotta steal this idea!

Thanks Jim...thanks Stuart.

**DeadheadNM** · 11-16-2015, 11:23 PM

Brad that's awesome! Can I send you some lenses/assemblies for the front bumper? I believe I have spares boxed up somewhere. Best, Pete

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-17-2015, 01:04 AM

That is cool as #@^*!!! Great job...

OLDYELLOW · 11-17-2015, 10:02 PM

Now you can keep your Blazer in the garage with out it taking up to much space, and you don't have to change the oil, keep the dust off it, worry about nicks and scratches, feed it gas, pay insurance, etc.

Chulisohombre · 11-18-2015, 06:03 AM

Very cool

Pete....you are too nice. I think I'll leave it without lenses for now since that's how she was when I got her (see below). If I run across a correct painted bumper I might change it...PS, both of the bumpers still have your address on the backside in Sharpie from when I thought I was going to ship them to you!

It is nice. I can't thank you enough for all your help...I was just thinking, you should be posting Model "A" pics in the Alternate Tinkerings forum.

Delmo just posted this pic of the ole girl on his IG page. It's captioned "Ready to roll" @travisbarker

Is he building another K5 for Travis Barker? Somebody may have caught the K5 bug.

**IronCanine** · 12-10-2015, 08:19 PM

Wow! Thanks for the post. He told me that he was going to go up a size or two on the tires. She looks good.

Senorx · 12-10-2015, 09:55 PM

Looks like she might be heading to join Travis's other K5. Maybe he wanted a classic stock K5 to compliment his lifted one?

I wish it was mine. That truck belongs to Travis Barker of Blink 182. It was partially built by World Famous 4x4 and Delmos Speed shop in Burbank. This is my truck.

Chulisohombre · 12-11-2015, 07:12 AM

Is like to see more of both trucks. Yours and Travis' are pretty awesome.
