New to me! 1974 K5 Blazer!!
wow... you really paid $500 bucks for it?
that's a great deal.
i got my 74 for close to 5k... but it is pretty clean.. original paint, top never off, 33 x 12.5's, no rust under the hood or in the bed or rockers... it even has ac that works...
it needs front end and bushings, shocks, tires, read dif seal....
so i think ill come in at about 9k into it without paint.. after it gets to be road worthy...

Yep. $500! And I've been enjoying driving it around (except for the gas bill) so much that I haven't had the heart to pull it off the road for the sheetmetal work.
Surprisingly enough, the drivetrain is in perfect condition on mine. It's just the rockers, a bit of floor, and the wheel arches that are in need of work.
Sorry. This is a reoccuring statement, but I have been enjoying my K5! Hopefully, once I get my "new" air compressor installed, I will get the rest of the stuff ready to start tearing into the truck. The new compressor will allow for better use of my air tools which was one of the main stumbling blocks I was trying to overcome in the past.
My plan of attack is to swap out the fenders first, then go at the floor and front cab supports. Hopefully I can get this done over the winter, but I really am in no rush to take the truck off the road.
