Picked up 73 Cheyenne K5 last night
Finally got a trailer and picked up the 1973 Cheyenne k5 blazer and was glad to put in the key and have it start and sound so easy and good. Drove like a champ up ramp and mechanically seemed fine.
Still have engine tag and original a/c in engine bay.
Roof looks a little rough but plan to go topless anyway so not a big issue and probably just need a wipe and paint to bring back to life.
Now love the truck and so excited to get it out and about but unfortunately it’s all original and needs all floor pans and interior redone. When does too much rust come into play not worth restoring a truck?
The frame looked great no rust holes just surface and the outside body had a few spots but not so horrible like the interior steel panels all rear panels , rear wheel wells and front floor pans are rotted out.
I’m not a body guy but always up to learn if the price to farm out outlays the worth of the vehicle.
Also need to find a windshield wiper switch if anyone has a link or a cheap working one lying around.
