Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
It stopped raining today around 1pm. The roads have dried quickly thanks to that hot Georgia sun. So we're going to show her for the first time today at a local drive in/show. Thought I'd go ahead and post some "after" pics. I also thought it'd be fun to do a shot for shot of the pics that started this thread.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Of course I removed and kept my original glove box door unmolested with factory SPID for "provenance"

The bottom will always be my favorite part of this truck.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
The sun was so bright today when it came out...the white top made some of this pics tough to take.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
In the end, even after everything was replaced, the cowl still needed a little help on the driver's side to dial in the gaps...who knows, maybe that roll of quarters did come from the factory. Instead of a lot of shims, a mod to the cowl bracket made it look/fit nicely.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Now I'm going to continue to post in this thread some. I've still got to finish out my tire tools and decal. But I really wanted to take time and thank you all. This board and the outstanding members that make it up have been an invaluable source of information, inspiration and support. I could not have done it without you. Some of you provide almost daily correspondence, feedback and encouragement...Pete, Dwayne, Mike, Tom, Tim, Jim, Steven, Eddie...the list is long. But to anyone who helped me with parts, or figure out when the truck was built, or how something should look, or just to tell us Good Job...I want to tell you how much I appreciate it.
So to you, and to the vendors (both on this site and locally) who helped make this happen... THANK YOU ALL DeadheadNM 1rippen6 72K5CSTDarkOlive Senorx jaros44sr smbrouss70 special-K Keith Seymore SS Tim RackMan Steve Hafner teeitup DaHos chipflyer 47Thriftmaster 6t727t2 cheyenne shortstep Bshift426 uncle redbaron tjsblazer TBONE1964 Roger Koop scf100 asolde flashed doo142 My72BB Lemield BigRed76 Gary 70 Jimmy WIDESIDE72 Cash3481 PDXk5 Vova thelonerife Yukon Jack 71swb4x4 71cheynne402 mtully79 richeilers orange72blazer NorCal mx289 madkmart Blown06 TomVogel SpankyDozer JOHNORO sixnineK5 1tuff71 CTENTA1 1972 Jimmy Chulisohombre 1956cameo bL.A.zer90045 notchbackgta simplepeddler cst 72 blazer SONOSADSACK twp1 Big J 1971K54X4 BKSS67 70gmcjimmy vancelot69 pkz71 doo142 hemi43 60case 29od1 jaybirdk5 JimH2828 cericd bruceman1968 hounddogs! 68shortwide Cordless57 Bigdav160 briank factorystock ChevyGuyX2 Advanced Design warbucket Livrat Bean Counter chewysask VA72C10 Minnz Jurassic-1 tristan Number98 tune_1 Mathew21 VENDORS/SUPPLIERS/SERVICE: Classic Heartbeat/Wes Matt’s Classic Bowties Truckseats/Tim Brothers Year One South Kentucky Classics Truck Shop Bill’s Truck Shop (Canada) Vintage Chevy Trucks AMD LMC Chrome Atlanta Summit Jegs Classic City Powder Coat Bass-Mims Tire and Auto Complete Transmission Tyner Truck and Auto Repair Fastenal General Springs Redhead Steering Gears Garden Classic Parts Sean Murphy Induction Auto Glass Center Athens Haynes Auto Salvage Lewis Tweedell Guy Tweedell Sims Radiator Speedwell (Alan Johnson) Shuman Services …and of course OLDYELLOW(Eric)...for REALLY making it happen.

Thanks Steven. I'm going to try. She's got a whopping 120 miles on her. Took her to her first show on Saturday. That's Eric's '57 she's parked by (not the one previously pictured in this thread that is getting worked on). They both took home hardware, which was pretty cool....Again, thanks for all your help and encouragement. Pretty much. I've just got to finish my tire tools set up (lug wrench is what I'm still missing) and the Jacking Instructions Decal.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Amazing job, Brad. That is one great looking K5! I love the before and after shots of the white top and the of course the underside is my favorite, too.
Your build has definitely helped me out and learned a lot from it. I constantly check it to use as a reference when I'm not sure where something goes. Appreciate your help and the detailed pics you've provided during the restoration. Mike
