I wondered over here from CK5. This is my first full size trail rig and it hasent left the garage since I got it. Its a 79 K5, TPI 400 sb, Th350, 205. I just got the 1 tons under it. Detroit in the rear, ARB in the front. Need to sell a kidney so I can buy material for a cage,bumpers and sliders.Hopefully itll be Rockin by spring. I plan on using my tax return to get a lomax in it.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

Welcome to the site Josh.

Wondered what you'd been up to lately, looks like your making quick progress.

Welcome to the jungle !


I'm in the same boat as you.

I bought my '72 Blazer back in June of '06 and only now getting it real close to being street-worthy, let alone trail-worthy .

I expect to make Blazer Bash this year.
Possibly drive the rig all the way down and back (570 miles each way !).

Since I'm rebuilding/double-checking both axles, swapping in a Ram Jet, tranny (Haven't decided which one yet), and replacing all the wiring; I should be good to go by the Summer time !

This is what it looked like when I first got it. The cage, bumpers, tires and wheeels are gone. Ill try and post current photos of it today. It was a show truck in the early 90's hence all the purple. I traded it for a built sami I had.

I hope to make BB this year. I will more than likely be driving the K5 both ways.
These are how it sits today, I need to finish the disk swap in the rear and get the steering gear mounted so I can move it in and out of the garage.
