It's definitely been a lot of excitement around here too...and thanks for the kind words. That truck has brought me nothing but joy...even two years after I sold it. Boy my Dad would have loved watching it roll across the block...

$82.5K with the premium. I love the DelS3, but I'd love to know what the number would have been with the 350. I cannot believe how red hot these trucks are right now.

The new owner can certainly be proud! Maybe they'll show up here. Can't wait for Brad's next build

IronCanine is licking his chops. I'm sure the next build will be even better.

Hello Brad,

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Seeing your Blazer on Barrett Jackson last night made me go back and look at your build thread. This build was absolutely beautiful. The amount of detail, documentation takes it to another level. you nailed it!

Any plans on building another K5,K10?

Thanks. The whole thing was so much fun. My Dad and I really connected over it and gosh just engaging with this board...The guys on here are just the best. But what Eric(OLDYELLOW) is teasing me about in the above post is that my brother and I have been kicking around the idea of doing something together for a while. No time table, but intentions are high, and if it happens I'm sure there'll be a thread. Fingers crossed.

If Delmo hadn't removed the Union 76 antenna ball it would have fetched $10k more

Seems like you have to add another chapter in your book for this great build

I love keeping up with her, but it's somebody else's story now...somebody else's book. Though I have no doubt she's got a lot of cool chapters ahead of her.

I reference your build thread often! It is truly an inspiration and I use it for that and also for a guide for my 70 build. Did you, by chance, have any extra valve cover decals made? I've been searching for some online without any luck.

That's great...and thanks. I love this site and it's members. So many great builds to learn from and people willing to share. I do have some decals. Here's the thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=678456

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

OMG you guys. I feel like because of the COVID-19 shut down I have actually gotten to the bottom of the internet....and guess what I found...US!!!

Random K5 Google search for something (as you do during times like this ) and a YouTube video of our Blazer pops up---that I did not make nor have knowledge of. A YouTube channel called Hand Built Cars harvested our pics and made a (32 min!) slide show. I have actually watched some of their build videos before thinking they were posted by the builders. It's kind of surreal.

...anyway I guess our posted pics are for grabs. Here's the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PD2nTzJqdw

I'm about to go see if any other build threads from the board have been picked up. This is crazy. Be safe out there.

EXACTLY!!! And it has been there for 2 YEARS. I kind of wish I hadn't posted the video to the thread now...but glad I edited my daughter out of it. I don't know, I kind of get lulled into the idea that this forum is cut off from the rest of the internet. Just a few nice folks who like the same thing I do and we're in a space by ourselves. Naive to be sure.
