"free" blazer... soon to be daily driver

[race-rodz]

here are a few shots of 1 of about 87 projects i have goin on.

its a 78 K5 blazer that i managed to pick up for "free" with no motor/trans/t-case.... but an almost perfect rust free body.

i added a bunch of parts i had layin around to make it 2wd, threw in a TPI 350 i had sittin under the bench and a TH350. inside is rino lined in a similar color to what the int will be, been workin on this "after work" for the last couple months.

Cool!! I like it

[YoungGun69SS]

Sweet. I like the color of the engine...is that what you are going with on the body? What wheels are on it?..they look awesome.

70's Blazers are BADASS! Love the removable top!!! This makes me want to buy one. "Honey, look what followed me home from the swap meet, can we keep him?" Yeeeaaah right! :D

I'll give you 5 bucks for it since you got it for free. Great project, I am a huge fan of this vintage of Chevy (truck and blazer and suburban)

yes, the whole thing will be the green, its a bench mix bc/cc to come close to hok lime gold kandy over planet green...but with it being a regular bc/cc, its easy to fix(it is gonna be a driver afterall)

the wheels are 20x8.5 eagle 025's in chrome, they were "cheap" and easy to keep clean...untill the chrome starts falling off...then i will find something else cheap.

wow...5 whole dollars huh. it mighta been free when i got it, but now that EVERYTHING is new or in the process of being new... i think i would need to get a lil more outa it.

Reminds me of my 72 truck from years gone by.

Are you going to run a soft top or put the other back on?

[race-rodz]

i plan on running the hard top, or none at all when its nice out.

[srh3trinity]

I guess I low balled you on the 5 buck offer, you are going to have a really nice ride when you get finished. It doesn't look like there is much rust if any in the body and it looks pretty straight, I would say you lucked out. What other projects do you have going?

[syborg tt]

very cool project. Looks like it will be a blast to drive in the summer months

[race-rodz]

What other projects do you have going?

I am interested to see pics of the short bed crew cab 1 ton 72 project whenever you get into it.

Looks good for a "FREEEEEEEEEBE" (said in deep Monster Garage Voice). I'm lookin to pickup a old (69-72) Checy s/b as a daily driver.

[BlazerSpeed]

very sweet, love those trucks, damn near indestructable.
My brother had a 78 K5 blazer. He redid the interior, and motor and made it a mud truck, sure was a blast, until the idiot he sold it to (friend of his) got it stuck in 4 feet of mud and icewater :faint: oh well can't keep them all.
