Hey guys,

Just bought an 87' Blazer K5 4x4

350/700r fuel injected
michelan 31x10.5's
all black
minor rocker rust
replaced rear frame cross sections and supports
PS,PB,tilt,cruise,PW,PL,buckets

for $1325 ( from 1850 )

but, i get it home and the motor for the back doest power the window up and down, so i put down the tailgate, but when i go to put it back up the window springs up (spring loaded) and shatters the limo tint factory glass, now im shopping for new glass (first day ive owned it)

good score, ive been lookin but up around here theyve all been plowed and rotted to the ground. so...how much you gonna lift it?

Super Chevy · 01-12-2003, 10:25 PM

i was thinking 8" with 38x16 MT's or 6" lift with 35's

It looks ALOT better when i washed it

Hey,thats not good.I have an 86 K5,my motor works but wouldn't go down too well and shattered my glass also.Check out www.lmctruck.com

I got it fixed awhile ago,went to cleveland and got it done for $150 with glass,internal guts and motor/cable, goes up pretty quick now, with used parts.

found out that this truck's floor is covered from front to back in 1/4 steel when i went to drill a 9/16 hole for my 4 guage wire going to the amp for my subs, took me about 10min with a craftsman 1/2 drill

only drawbacks i found so far is the 10 bolt front and rear, but they do have posi's equipped.

I think im going to go with a 6" suspension lift, then if i want additional lift i can do a shackle flip then put helpers and a zero rate spring in front to give me the option to move the front forward/back 1.5
