cleaned my wheels, buddies new k5

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.

Re: cleaned my wheels, buddies new k5

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.

Re: cleaned my wheels, buddies new k5

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.

Your truck is looking really good. I like your buddie's Blazer. One of these days we need to get everyone from CO together. And I mean EVERYONE.
