So I bet all.of you think im crazy but I might be getting another k5..... lol. This one is a 78 in mint condition. No rust. No dents. I couldn't find any bondo. All the gauges work except the speedo but That just needs a new cable. The seats are like new and there is still carpet on the floor! And there is even still a floor! This thing is almost a show truck. It also has the 350 4bolt main engine. Th400 trans. Only a np205 but its 4x4. It looker like a 4 or 6 in lift too with new 33s on it. He only wants 4k for it too so my dad might be getting it for me then I sell the other truckes in pieces to pay him back. While keeping those 38s I have. What do you guys think? Ill try to.take pictures after I get off work today.

Default Oil Cooler

Well it's a beautiful day in sunny Florida so I will install the new oil cooler kit I bought. The water cooled factory oil cooler is history. The new kit has a thermo controlled fan.
I expect oil temps to be an average of 185-195 that is about a 20-30 degree's lower than before.

I got my magnaflow hi-flow cat installed yesterday. On a gun note, if you wanna get twisted in half, shoot a .450 marlin rifle. It's short like a 30-30 but kicks like a tank. Our .300 mag kicks pretty hard too. But my favorite to just shoot is our semi auto AK47. So much fun.

Used the truck to help a buddy get a weight bench home after I took 2 other friends to the airport.

Got mine in the garage last night. Got it up on jackstands. At some point I'm starting to work on front end. Lower ball joints and outer tie rods for sure. Needs back brakes and shocks. I'm sure something else will show up. We'll see how long the money lasts.

Did the front sway bar to frame bushings done...

NEVER AGAIN unless i have air tools. I never had so much trouble getting 4 bolts out of a rusty frame. my god! It was worth it though. my leaning issue in turns is mostly fixed.

Hadn't been doing anything to the Blazer since I came home from work on Thursday night. Been working in the basement building a bar down there. But I am thinking about writing up all the stuffs I do to my Blazer and the maintenances to it on the paper or type on the computer. Which is the better way to do it?

I got some 1/16" sheet metal for my heat shield.

I also got something entirely unrelated to my blazer.
