Lightbulb Yes 70 K5 There Is a Santa

Hello,
I found out about this message board through Colorado K5, and I have learned more about Blazers in 2 days than I have in 2 years. I have a 1970 K5 Blazer 4x4 that was handed down to me from my dad, it has been in our family since 1975, it was bought from a little old man for $1000.00 cdn. with about 32.000 miles on it, my blazer has the same rust problems that I see on other blazers and I was ready to put her down, but since I have read some of the other members projects I plan on starting my restoration project this comming winter.Thanks for the information you have all shared, it has given me more determination to get my blazer back on the road.

If you don't have an application to reduce the size, you can e-mail them to me and I'll reduce them for you. chris@imageink.com
