My 87 K5 Blazer project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NCTyphoonKid · 03-24-2011, 06:08 PM

Hey Guys
Here is my 87 K5 project. I bought the K5 off craigslist for $1500 bucks and it was VERY nasty when I got it. I've had the interior out and cleaned it up really good. I need to Get a K5 emblem for the fender,get the tailgate trim,fix vent window that shattered,fix passenger door trim, and get the rest of the parts I need for it. I'm probably going to remove the footsteps on it I'm not really a fan of them.

I will get pics up in a few minutes.
Korey

I'm not sure whether I want to lift it as of now. I think i'm going to leave it how it is for right now. I'm still planning on pulling the footstep things off. I need to replace all the gaskets for the top and the door windows and tailgate window. I really don't have any big plans as of now for it. My main priority right now is to get it looking alot better since it hasn't been cleaned really good in about 10 years or so.

NCTyphoonKid · 03-28-2011, 10:47 PM

I finished polishing the paint on my truck today it isn't perfect but it's alot better than what I started out with and I'm very impressed with the results. Tomorrow I think I'm going to start polishing the wheels, clean the glass, and polish the chrome. I'll get a few more pics up later

NCTyphoonKid · 03-28-2011, 11:04 PM

I see a fast little Jimmy in you drive way.

I drove one in high school back in the 90's and would race all the guys in high school at the drag stip and blow them away! Man that thing was fast!

And the blazer look good as well!
