1985 K5 Blazer: Added another one to the stable

[Captkaos]

I picked up a 1985 Chevy K5 4x4 Blazer this weeked.  The paint job was not a key selling point, but I did get a 87 Donor with running 350TBI/700R4.

Man thats really cool, how much if you dont mind me askin..  was it army surplus?

[VileZambonie]

was it army surplus?

That's a regular K5 not a military blazer.

Sweet! What's your plans?

[JRConnieK10]

Good score.

Suhweet! I like it.

Someone might draw a bead on you driving on 20th street, though.

You going to turn it into a convertable?

[Captkaos]

I got 2 trucks that will run for $1800.  The other one is a northern rust bucket but it will run.  I could push the body off the frame.
Plans are to fix the spongy brakes and probably rebuild or replace the carb immediately.

Plans are to convert it to a fulltop with a new window frame and fulltop I am getting.  I am also really wanting to get a 6.2L Diesel to convert it.

Sounds to me like you got a great deal.

I LOVE K5's..... I owned a '75 K5 when I was in my late teens. '75 was the last year for the full convertible top.....dang I miss it....sniff

See above, fix it to be reliable and do a fulltop conversion on it.
