Blazer history..i have owned this k5 for 25 years. Got it as a rollover missing engine/trans. Rearend for $500. Have built it 3 times in the 25 years. First time wad as daily driver 4x4 blazer setting on 35" tires..2nd build was monster. 44" tires and 48"s of just lift
((12" lift springs, 6" blocks, 12" shackles,
12"subframe, 6" body lift, ))....
And now for build #3 4x2 and lowered or as they say slammed to the weeds...
I built and im driving a 73 k5 full convertable

It started life as a k5, it is now after my mods
a c5 and one of kind for any 73 blazer.
1987 power windowed tailgate.
1989 full front end clip.
1989 top slider side windows fitted to 73 top.
2000' 3.2L EFI V-6, 4 speed auto w/od,
Trac control, anti lock brakes, a/c,
Tilt wheel, cruse control, driver and pass side air bags. Power windows/door locks.
Will post pics when i figure out how with this fone..

Sounds like a ton of work went into it! Sounds pretty cool, but I gotta ask.

A 3.2L V-6???!!!

Its 205hp 214lb-ft@3000rpm, 24 valve, coil on plug hemi V-6. Stock.
I had a 2000 suv that was hit in the side. Body was bad but didnt hurt the frame And the wheel base was the same between the two. So I rolled the suv off its frame and added my 73 K5 to it. And took most all the late model cool things also..so how do I add pics from my fone to this post?

looks good so far! keep it up man

whats funny is the new v-6's and even some 4 bangers put out as much hp as some of the older v8's

i have a 73 400ci in my 86 and from the factory it only had 195hp... though a bit more torque

I will be following this build. It is a cool concept.

Added top, doors, hood, black primer, offset wheels. Lowered front 4" and hinged hood from the side today. Will add new pics of that soon.
