Joining the K5 club - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HuggerCST · 03-08-2006, 09:45 PM

You guys were having way too much fun over here, so I had to join you.

I have been here for a while with my truck, but have recently purchased my first K5. I didn't need another project, but couldn't pass it up. It has it's share of rust, but is mechanically sound, (drives better than my DD), is pretty original, my color,

, and the wife loves it.

For now, my plan is to tune it up, take the ugly front bumper off, add some center caps & trim rings, fix a few other things here and there, and drive it. Hopefully I can restore it one day. It came with another one for parts, but the body is shot. I will part it when I have time.

By the way, what is the 1AN310 Heavy Duty Auxiliar option?

Southedisto · 03-08-2006, 09:57 PM

Nice blazer!

HuggerCST · 03-08-2006, 10:06 PM

Thanks! The camera actually makes it look a little better than it is, but for original paint, it's not bad.

teeitup · 03-08-2006, 10:15 PM

NICE!!!!!!!! I like it!!!!!!!!!!!

krue · 03-08-2006, 10:59 PM

Yeah, what he said?

**Joesjunk** · 03-08-2006, 11:39 PM

"AN3" is your passenger seat. They leave off the end of the description. It reads "Heavy-Duty auxiliary seat". It was a $78.00 option. The passenger seat was an option, unless you orderer the CST option, it came with both seats.

Welcome to the blazer side of chevy trucks!

Looks like a great find.

Wait until you drive it with the top off...

HuggerCST · 03-09-2006, 10:43 AM

Thanks for the compliments. I think I'll have alot of fun with it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. It was one of my wife's favorite features to say the least. When I told her that the top is removable, her jaw almost hit the floor. There have already been suggestions of "matching his & her trucks".

blazerparts · 03-09-2006, 10:58 AM

Looks like a solid blazer.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-09-2006, 11:07 AM

Congrats, it looks to be in darn good shape and I like your plan of doing just a few things and then enjoying it. Looks like another candidate for a bikini top!

**raggedjim** · 03-09-2006, 01:36 PM

Old trucks were a hard sell to my wife until I found my Blazer. In good weather she drives it to pick my son up from school... She didn't tell me, one of my buddies saw her! She has a fit if I mention selling it (which I do about every 3 months just to irritate her) and getting something more practical...

Have fun, Rg

Welcome to cool side...

Sounds like the wife is going to need a 2wd Blazer

I wish that I could find a affordable one, but she seems to like 4x4s. She saw a jacked up 77 Bronco for sale a while back and liked it alot.

Thanks, I'm slowly learning how to resist the urge to take them apart before I have the parts, time, or cash to put them back together.

meathead95 · 03-09-2006, 05:01 PM

Will do Keith. I will also send pics of the one on the parts blazer too. I'm headed your way the 1st weekend in May if you want one.

Well, not Nashville, but I will be passing through Chatanooga on my way to Maryville to deliver a 69 Camaro, then to Pigeon Forge (my older sister's house), try to see the truck nat. show, then on to Highpoint, NC to my younger sister's place to visit. Keith has a buddy near Chatanooga that has met me for parts before.

SLIMJIM · 03-09-2006, 09:24 PM

Nice truck. They are definitely attention getters.

OIC, Well I will be at the MV truck nats, so if that is the show you
are going to then I will meet you there, if not maybe another time.

Sounds great. I've already talked to board member Harold Shepard about meeting up with him there. He is from Maggie Valley, and I believe will have his truck in the show.

red71cheyenne · 03-10-2006, 02:01 PM

Nice find! Wish I could have driven mine before rebuilding. Course it had been sitting for 20 yrs, so might not have been a good idea. Love that color, Jeff.
