1975 (not 78 as thought) Chevy Blazer K5 Pickup

[Mr S]

I've always wanted one of these, so when one came up on ebay locally for the right price, I snapped it up! I pick it up at the end of the week all being well! Mint!

She needs a bit of cosmetic tidying (which myself and 2002gimp will be doing) but she runs well with a new edelbrock carb, and she sounds AMAZING!!!

Now, where's that high-lift kit catalogue....

[akku]

rezult. nice one. I see you have the obligatory "vanity plate" things on the back as well. Does it say "redneck Rebel" or anything or "the south will rise again" or "you can take my gun - when you prize it out of my cold dead fingers" anywhere on the vehicle?

[LowStandards]

I still maintain we should buy 10-gallon hats and whoop and holla a lot!

[grizz]

As said before, I like trucks..... and maybe I is a closet redneck......


Nice one mate, enjoy the ride.

[surprisingskoda]

perfect height, no hi-lift, please1!!!1

cue all the most unoriginal ways to enjoy the vee hikkel. kudos to you.

[rob0r]

That is brilliant, how much would of those set you back??

[rmad]

Ripe for a Jon from CHiPs replica? ;D

[Mr S]

Cheers for all the comments, this week is going so slowly, I just want to pick her up!!

This one is costing me a grand - not bad considering it will have a full MOT, 5 brand new Bridgestone MT tyres (31"x10.5"x15) and an almost new (November last year) Edelbrock carb on it!

And I'm sorry surprisingskoda, but it will have to get jacked up - ready for the 35" tyres (sorry, 'tires', it is American!) and some serious off-roading!

[wickedbad]

Man, that's as redneck as they come. I'm lovin' it.

Surely a Conferderate flag painted across the bonnet wouldn't go amiss. Cruisin' to Skynard.

Can't wait to see it jacked up.

I can't believe it cost a grand. I'm gonna have to start searching ebay better when I decide on my next cars

Seriously uber Sweet howwme Arrrrrrrlabama

[LowStandards]

I wanna see it looking like this:



What do people think?
Quite frankly that would Rockzors my Sockzors...

[Mr S]

Lose the black bonnet and make it Nato Green all over and you're heading in the direction of what I want!

[LowStandards]

You mean like this?



Its good, but its too bland, to pull it off you'll need some US army stencils down the side!

[Mr S]

Now that looks proper! Thanks for my hat too, where can I buy such an item?

[Mr S]

's ok, I found them...

Bargain. these old trucks are beaut.

Similar to Fall Guys truck?

[Mr S]

Done a bit of research on it, and it turns out that it's not the 350ci (5.7) motor that I thought it was in there, it's actually got a 400ci (6.6) motor rated at 255-265hp! I'm a happy man B)

[Mr S]

Just to drag this one out of the doldrums, with a bit of luck, I've just procured an 8 inch lift kit, some new doors and a few other bits and pieces (axles, bonnet, bumpers, gearbox etc)! Just got to figure out how to get them back from Batley.... Anyone got a van and a spare few hours I could borrow? lol

Once I've built the garage (these things were such a bargain I couldn't refuse them, even though I'm running out of brick/roof money....!), I'll be getting them all fitted and then looking for some 37" tyres Happy days!

[Mr S]

Well, I've got no room to work on anything now, not even in my spare garage (which was for working on bikes in....), but I've got one hell of a parts haul! All this for the princely sum of £300 (plus £50 for him to deliver it).

Roughly comprises of an 8" Skyjacker lift kit, with 2 shocks per corner, 2 axles (with brakes and braided hoses on the front), spare TH350 autobox and transfer case, 2 doors with glass, tailgate with glass, full-size hard top, some guages, grill, bumpers, headlight surrounds, power steering pump and steering box, UJ rebuild kits, cubby box, headlights, tail lights etc. etc.

Happy days!

































Nearly forgot these!!!

[kevfromwales]

[namless]
