well, finally polished those ugly wheels of mine. looks good rolling, but when i stop they are still the same ugly things! heres my buddies truck: 76 k5, 350, th400, 14 bolt rear(been swapped out?), 10 bolt front, sealed off rear to make a "truck", not a bad find for $2500. thing runs like a champ, a little rich, but pretty good. he got an edelbrock carb for me to put on it this weekend, yay me! the body is decent, except for the normal rust areas.

I like you back window kit on the blazer. What kind is that?

Holy, an 8 lug K5!?!? I have never seen an 8 lug Blazer. Is it just me or do your wheels look like they came off a Mustang?

im guessin its a totally custom kit just from lookin at all the silicone. its pretty gruesome... but he know i can pull the **** out of the trigger on a mig welder, so i can profit for his gain. its actually a really simple snap button piece, its obviously tightened up over the years and doesnt quite hit all the buttons, but it works.

blazer has a 3/4 or 1 ton swap, and a half cab conversion, pretty neat! I would have used round fog lights on a 73-87, round+round looks good to me, but jmho.
