I bought my K5 from my uncle for $2,000 back in November of last year and from the inside out it looks like a nicely kept diesel blazer. Well looks can be deceiving and I found that out the hard way. The floor pans around the edge of the cab were rotted through, rocker panels gone(passenger side), and the outside body mount braces, tail pan, and tailgate pillars. No big deal, a pretty paycheck to LMC and I'm solid, well the front leaf spring shackle on both sides has on the top bolt, has sheared off and is only holding on both sides but has not given out yet, it is safe to drive and I'll be posting pics to show exactly what is wrong and my solution soon to come. Other than that she's my beauty and the next few months will hopefully be spent rebuilding her.
Future Modifications:
1: Rusted panels replaced, prime and paint.
2: 4" suspension lift from Rough Country
3: 35x12.50R15 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2
4: New 15"x9" rims
5: Axle upgrades and TH400 trans swap.
6: Rebuilt 6.2l turbo
