Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Wow, truck looks great after the detail, not that it doesn`t look great anyhow. The Fiero looks pretty complete, interior looks pretty trashed. The car is blue, I will see if I can get a pic.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Did the fix for the door strikers last night and I'm completely amazed at how much it improved opening and shutting the doors its like opening/shutting a door to a different truck.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Took the trailer hitch off this evening along with the trailer brakes. I'm not going to pull anything with the K5 so I just took them off they weren't factory anyway.

NCTyphoonKid,
What kind of exhaust did you get installed? was it just a stock replacement? Upgraded?

nice k-5 im kinda jealous!!! lol. if you wanna go all out have your wheels polished at someone who restores and polishes aluminum wheels,possibly someone who does motorcycle wheels. i had mine done from a wonderful guy named dane. he does small scale chrome plating and anodizing and he did mine and they were completely awesome.he charged $80 a side for each wheel. the k-5 wheels you have were the same as i had and he said gm made those wheels in a spun aluminum fashion. some people call them center lines because of the way they are made. this is why i love old trucks, especially the k-5, because these trucks were made to be restored.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
I think it looks great! Don't take this as an insult Korey, but I'm a little surprised to see a stock rebuild from a young dude. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

Thanks and I'll keep that in mind about the wheel polishing.

Nice looking bobtail. Next time you two meet up get them a little muddy first, action pics are better.

Mine the wire that tells you to buckle up on the drivers side seatbelt wasn't hooked up. Somebody could have pulled the buzzer out too

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
I will see if that wire is connected tomorrow, and check if the buzzer is installed or not.

Thanks

Not a problem and if the buzzer isn't there it probably wouldn't be too hard to find one
