Being 2wd, it would likely get stuck! LOL

Have a good look at the Body mount brackets to the frame under the cab area.
Blazer or Pickup, it was a rust area.

K5's nice

The underside of my K5 is very nice aside from the front cab mounts. Those will be replaced at some point.

Where do you find the patch panels that are around $20 I might look into getting some for my blazer?

It really depends on what you need, but LMCTruck.com has them and the smaller panels are $20 each.

Oh I see. Driverside floorboard is starting to go and rear passenger quarter but they aren't too bad yet.

They'll(LMC) send you a free catalog. Make sure if you order to watch for the oversized freight costs. If you know you're gonna need several of the oversized parts it's behooves you to order them at once as they only charge one oversize charge per order. Just my .02.

I am well aware of that. This is not my first time ordering large items.

Well, I have decided to leave the rest of the Suburban together for right now. I started to disconnect wiring under the hood and then thought better of it. When the time comes to swap the motor over to the K5, I think it would be best to park the two side by side and swap everything over (dash, A/C, motor, etc). This will allow me to compare things better than if they were separate.

Biggest problem I have run into now is that the thing will not turn over at the moment. I have to pull the starter the next time I am down there and test things out. It is not even clicking.
