70-K5 is on a distinguished road
Default New to the forum, not new to Blazers

Hello to all Blazer fans out there.

Quick introduction, I bought a 1970 K5 a few years back and started working on it. It is too clean to wheel and I was seeing how much fun you can have going out in the woods and beating on these things I picked up an 86 for fun.

The 70 is pretty stock. 4" rancho lift - rebuilt 350 - 35 BFG's on Alcoa 15" rims... nothing too fancy.





And I picked up a hard top for it.

The 86 is a little less glamorous. List there goes like:

4" Tuff Country spring lift + easy inch in the rear
Dana 60 / 14bff 4.56 gears spool in the front open rear (plan to change that...)
Warn front bumper with 2 165watt KC's
Modified road star rear bumper with super shackle mounts
Interior bedlined
Replaced all stock gauges with autometers
Buckets from late model Tahoe
Softtopper
37x13.5R16 ProComp XTreme AT's on rock crawler rims
Kenwood head unit with kenwood 4channel pushing 4 focal 6CA's and Zapco monoblock hooked to 2 10" infinity reference subs.
Many many mods in the future.

Wow... that 86 is almost good enuff to make me want one.

Since it's the wheeling toy, what would be cool is to give it a Rustoleum roller paint job - SEE YOUTUBE- up top and Bedliner spray below the belt where the white is now.
Cheap and look sharp.

Not quite done with the body mods on the 86 yet, paint is in the future but my brother-in-law is a painter by trade (house painter) so he'll be shooting it with polyurethane probably this Fall.
