new to the squares.....
 

Hey fellas, Im over here from the 67-72 side with a new project. I picked up a 91 k5 blazer a couple of weeks ago and Im quickly tearing it apart. Ill post up a few starter pics....

Its a god awful purple for the time being but that won't last long. My plans include going through the front suspension and replacing bushings and shocks. Paint and bodywork are a must, new glass and switching to the suburban 1 piece in the top, new mirrors, and elimination of the mouldings and emblems, gonna shave the rear glass outside key monstrosity as well, Haven't decided on the tailgate band. Smooth and paint the top body color and of course redo all the interior. Im planning an ls swap in there too......

Im looking for the plastic wire connector that attaches to the double/quad switch in the ds door panel for the windows. This one has been "repaired/modified" and is a mess.... New regulators and motors are on their way from classic parts but i couldn't find the connector. Any ideas???

Re: new to the squares.....
 

Someone on this side Of the forum makes complete harnesses for our trucks and does TOP QUALITY work with a lot of good reviews. I think his name is gmachines or something but cannot remember directly... He might be able to help you out with connectors.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

Search for GMACHINZ on this site. Great guy to deal with on whole harnesses or on component parts. Does not sell cheap aftermarket stuff. All of his stuff is either OEM quality or better.

Cool looking K5 Blazer sounds like it's going to be a fun project can't wait to see some progress pictures of it! :D

Re: new to the squares.....
 

i messaged gmachinz about the window harness. Hopefully will get it ordered today. The new regulators/motors will be here monday.

Amazing what a new pair of shoes will do!!!!!

went with 22" riddlers

Re: new to the squares.....
 

man, haven't updated in awhile! Ive gotten the bodywork 90% complete and done a few odds and ends of things. Im now in the process of installing the 5.3 ls and 4l60e. Should be buttoned up in a couple of weekends.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

more pics, Also chose a color, its sakhir orange from bmw

Re: new to the squares.....
 

also swapped the front end to 84 style from the 91. Personally like it better

Re: new to the squares.....
 

I don't really care for the 89-91 front end either, looking good! Can't wait to see it painted.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

Sweet! Very nice changes you have made. I approve! ;) just kidding of course.

I'm anxious to see it with that orange on it. It looks like a nice color so far.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

Dang...i thought the purple was kinda kool.

Re: new to the squares.....

Re: new to the squares.....

Re: new to the squares.....

Re: new to the squares.....
 

lol

Re: new to the squares.....
 

small things, but i got the bumpers painted and installed, going saturday to pick up the weatherstripping to rebuild the doors and put the top glass in. Gotta get a few other things as well.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

looking good brother...

Re: new to the squares.....
 

got a few miles on her already, Everything going well other than a fuel line leak.... Got that fixed, still waiting on the 1/4 glass moldings for the top and 1 weatherstrip.

Re: new to the squares.....
 

MAN, havent posted in awhile on here. Ive got most of the big things done now and am focusing on interior trim, audio etc. One big change is coming in the next week or so as I'm going to put it on air ride. Cant find a happy place with the bouncy springs and dropped height so their going in the trash. Got the ac all charged up and swapped in a 94 blower motor for a little more wind movement. Still pretty stuffy in the back seat so I gotta figure something out there. Ill add some recent pics as well and keep you posted as it gets bagged.....

Re: new to the squares.....
 

I added a set of the "sloshtubz" mild front inner fenders as well. Great product that i Highly recommend

Re: new to the squares.....
 

holy smokes, realize that this thread died....

I did finish it up and I sold it October of 2017

Re: new to the squares.....
 

some parting shots...
