1969 K10 Blazer Restoration
 
So i scored a 1969 K10 Blazer today for $300 has a 250 straight 6 with a 3 speed on column and it runs.. research has shown there was 58 made of the KE10703 and KE10734 had a production of 1649... will scrape the frame tomorrow and see which one it is.. but my question is where is the best place to buy restoration parts? i know some aftermarket parts arent up to par so any info would help on restoring it .. Thanks in Advance !

Post in the 69-72 blazer section or nobody will reply. I just stumbled across it. 1969 k5 production is just under 5000 units. Post some pictures...and by the way...great score for 300 bucks!

Sounds like a cool truck! Definitely post again in the blazer/suburban section, you will get more info over there. Parts can be tricky for blazers, depending on what you're looking for you can find most anything in the blazer/suburban parts classifieds. Good luck on the build :metal:

Frame off - 10-15k? Man you'll be doing great to keep the cost that low. You've obviously got experience but I am no where near 15k on my frame off. I need pointers.
