Re: New to me 1972 K5
Update: Further behind on schedule. He couldn't sandblast the truck because we had almost 2 weeks of rain, on and off, here in "sunny" Nevada...
I broke down and ordered some Truck Lite LED headlights.... They should be here next week... I have LED tail lights and LED side markers.I want to add a LED light bar down the road too. None of this is cheap but I think it will be worth it in the long run...  I also want to add a setup for some LED whip antennas.... There is an eBay seller that is local to me. I'll go check them out... I think they will look great off the back of the Blazer with the top off ... www.goodtimesproducts.com

Re: New to me 1972 K5
I ordered a new American Autowire wiring harness... I have a new engine harness for the LQ9 swap and a new gauge harness for the Dakota Digital VHX setup. The factory harness was already pulled out for body work by Haskell's Rod and Custom...
Because of all the custom touches to the rest of the systems in the truck, I skipped the update harness and went with a builders series harness. Allen will fill the hole in the firewall and use a grommet to pass the engine harness through. He also setup the ECM to mount inside the cab as well...

Re: New to me 1972 K5
Blazer is coming along nicely, like the headlights too.

Re: New to me 1972 K5
I talked to the regional rep and they have a specific primer they use if they get bare metal... They are going to get a bare tub.. I get a done deal... white outside, black inside except with a white dash...

Re: New to me 1972 K5
Have you ran across this blazer while doing your planning.....found it while searching for a "family roll cage". Can't tell 100% if the exterior is lined but the dash is in white.

Re: New to me 1972 K5
Dying to see those Line-X pics......Do they have sheen options like flat, satin, gloss? Did a search after reading your plans and I really like the look of some of the vehicles I've now seen with exteriors lined. Definitely makes the vehicle look tough!

Re: New to me 1972 K5
I have seen that truck before. I liked the white and this helped me decide. I want to do the interior black with white dash and door panel inserts. My glove box door will be black like the gauge bezel. My gauges are red and I'll have a few red accents through out the truck.
