thanks i had to get a new cab because my firewall and a pillars were rotted out so i decided to get a new cab i also have to get another stepside bed because mine was beyond repair the fenders were junk and the bed sides were bad so there again decided to just get a new bed which i wont get till spring and i also got to new used doors from a k5 blazer they were bought brand new 2 years ago and the blazer blew up so the owner was tired of puting money into it he parted it out i bought 2 complete doors 4 150.00 for both so realy the only things that i kept was the rolling chasis and the hood and all the interior every thing else went to c10 heaven most told me i should of just junked the whole truck and bought another but ive owned my truck since i was 14 and my grandfather use to own it he gave it to my dad and then my dad gave it to me so even tho the cab and bed isnt the same im still VERY attached to it i love my truck i wouldnt trade it for anything and as soon as i get more pics ill post them
