1975 K5 Blazer- another beach truck!
Hey guys, I picked up yet another full convertible K5 Blazer. This one is pretty rough but I got it for a steal and the guy wouldn't let me leave his house without it. The list of goodies is pretty decent for it so far. It has:
Factory Tach gauge cluster 14 bolt full floater rearend with 4.56 gears Dana 44 front re-geared to 4.56's with 8 lug outers .030 over 350 with flat top pistons and 58cc heads 1.94/1.50's Crane cam and lifter kit with valvetrain and roller rockers new headers, intake manifold, Holley 750cfm vacuum secondaries 40 series flowmaster duals 3/4 ton lift springs front and 3/4 ton rear springs with blocks (for now) (lift to be determined) Offroad Design Sway bar disconnects Offroad Design front HD greasable shackles 33x15.5/16.5 Super Swampers on spray painted black 16.5x12 rims (I think...) SM465 Muncie 4 speed manual with modified (rigged) shifter NP 203 transfer case (seems to have part-time conversion) The truck needs a lot of work but it has a lot of good stuff put into it so I can't wait to get to play with it. It has been a truck I have wanted to get again since my old 75 Blazer rotted in half on me. Northern winters with road salt and the beach with salt air (comes with living on an island) have taken their toll on cars and trucks around here and this new-to-me truck is no exception. It has had the front fenders replaced at some point and had some patchwork done around the truck here and there. It is usable the way it is with the body so I will be leaving it well enough alone for now. Someone sprayed the whole truck with an at-home spray on bedliner kit that came out pretty bad. I'm still deciding on what I'd like to do about it. The tailgate hinges are pretty frozen and the bottom of the gate has heavy rust so that will be replaced at some point too. All in all, its a pretty sweet beater!
