don't have a digital camera and even if i did i wouldn't know how to post pictures, anyway here is the link to my blazer, it's the PO add, anyway thanks to all who have answered questions for me and the info on other peoples problems are a great help also, hope the link works, if not maybe a computer person could fix it, thanks brody p. www.theguitarweb.com/K5Blazer2.htm p.s. i have replaced all the weatherstripping, put 31x10.5 tires on stock powder coater rally wheels {73-87} it looks much better with stock size wheels and tires, new heater core, u-joints etc, i would like to find a new nos grey egg shell to replace the black one on it now, anyway peace to all...

That's one sweeeeeeeet Blazer!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-23-2004, 09:17 AM

Wow, that's a great Blazer to start out with!

2wdBlazer · 06-23-2004, 09:21 AM

Nice. Looks like one I saw on E-bay recently.

bouncytruck · 06-23-2004, 12:00 PM

Very nice looking Blazer. What is the ride height/tire combo?

Here's a few of the pics for ya...

NuBomb · 06-23-2004, 03:27 PM

meathead95 · 06-23-2004, 03:40 PM

that is sweet

Big J · 06-23-2004, 04:00 PM

Nice find, congrats! Looks awesome.

brodykelly · 06-26-2004, 12:48 AM

thanks for the replies, it turns heads everywhere i go, i'm hoping to get some guys over on the 4th and take the top off, i'm sure that will be tricky, the wife keeps nagging about "you said the top would come off, i have not seen it yet", and the tire/wheel combo when i bought it was outlaw 2's 15x10 wheels and bfg all terrain 33x12.5 and they just barely fit on the stock height, but they cleared now i have 15x8 ralleys and 31x10 coopers and it rides and steers so much better now, thanks again and luv the site....brody p.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-26-2004, 02:05 PM

Very nice ride you got damn....

1970blazin · 06-26-2004, 02:53 PM

I like the look of that front grill! Nice score! The top is pretty easy to take off- just be careful if it is a double wall top to not strip the bolts cause they are a pain to replace. A few bolts out and a few friends to lift and there you go "topless"!!! :-)

bouncytruck · 06-26-2004, 03:47 PM

ColoradoK5.com has some suggestions for a pully system to lift & store the top. I think a few members here has similar systems. http://coloradok5.com/topstorage.shtml

brodykelly · 06-27-2004, 02:08 AM

thanks for the top suggestions, going to try it this coming weekend..

brodykelly · 06-28-2004, 12:24 AM

got the top off today, took the family for a ride, it doesn't get much better, then we run by a buddies house and when we pull in his 1yr old boxer runs out and jumps on my passenger door leaving 9 scratches, just my luck....going to have to get the rubbing compound out

1970blazin · 06-28-2004, 10:17 AM

Why does that stuff always seem to happen on the best of days!

Hope the scratches come out!

bouncytruck · 06-28-2004, 11:31 AM

I've gotta take the top off my '72! I don't have any friends with dogs, so hopefullly I'm safe...

JayDubBlazer · 06-28-2004, 10:15 PM

Thing looks sweet with the top off. I am going to chicago this weekend for the fourth and want to drive mine out but I don't have my soft top yet and it is suppose to rain.

**jamie72** · 06-28-2004, 10:28 PM

nice blazer!!! i almost painted mine black,looking at yours,makes me think i should have..
i love dogs,but if that was my blazer,and it jump on it and scratched it,i think something bad would happen to that dog..
