Post by: FresnoK5er on November 24, 2008, 03:03:23 pm

Here are a couple pics of my two K5 blazers. One beat down stocker and one modified custom.

Post by: FresnoK5er on November 25, 2008, 02:29:24 pm

Thanks for the welcome everyone.  Very cool site.  Goatbeard told me about the site.  I bought the gold and white stocker about two years ago for $600.00 dollars.  It was missing the carb and distributor.  I brought it home and installed a carb and distributor I had laying around and I fired up and I drove it around the block. Everything seems to work on it but it has a bad lifter. It is in need of restoration but it will have to wait for now. It has rust in the rear quarterpanels behind the wheels but the floor pans are excellent.

I dig the tag and the Luv in the background of one of the build pics. Nice Blazers.

Post by: FresnoK5er on December 22, 2008, 01:04:01 pm

The Chevy Luv was my truck since I was 16.  I sold it just after these pictures where taken to help finance my Blazer build. The Luv had a 231 Buick V-6, Turbo 350 trans, narrowed Ford nine inch rear end, 2 stage tilt bed, over 500 louvers, Centerline rims, and much, much more. Man I miss that truck.

Geeze, I bet that thing rolled pretty good.

I had it smog legal for California.  I had to run it through the Bureau of Automotive Repair to get it smog legal which means I had to run the two barrel carb. It was still very fast though.  I never got around to adding on the Offenhauser intake and four barrel carb for between smogs. I can only imagine what that little truck would have done.

My family is from Kerman originally. My grandfather was a farmer in Kerman. My last name is Von Flue. You may know it.  The palm trees in the background is not Kerney Bvld but I'm not to far from Kearny.  The Palms trees are on Valentine Ave are are part of "Twin Palm Farms" and run across the front of their property. I live near Easton.

I'm thinking about making it a 2wd with airbags.  Kind of a hotrod rodster style build.  I haven't decide yet though. I'm having a hard time with cutting up a 75 4wd. Right now I just storing it away.  Money is a little tight right now and I'm looking to save my money right now.
