1971 K5 Blazer - down under
Intro to my Blazer. Purchased last November from California. Due to covid affecting shipping (and everything else) I was only able to take in to my possession last Thursday. She is a little rough, but does not appear to be rusty. Has been bleached by sun. First thing is to get her running and driving nicely, then on to body and interior
I replaced 15" rims and non roadworthy tires with 17" rims, and 285/65 Toyo Open Country AT tires. We are working on brake system overhaul, new rotors, pads, shoes, flex hoses and master cylinder, make sure it stops. This in part necessitated by the fact that customs remove pads and shoes, and anything they deem may have asbestos. Of course we then found a couple of grumbling wheel bearings, leaking rear seals and one bent shock absorber, so have ordered new set of shocks and bearings and seals. Will then do fluid and filter changes to see how sound drive train is. I will have lots of questions, but this message board is a fantastic resource Last edited by 68ls1; 08-02-2021 at 07:43 AM. |
