'86-ish K5 Blazer build.

Used to mud race this Blazer a few years back. Now i've decided to get back in the sport. But i'm going to be going through the whole blazer front to back. Probably will be a slow build. And havn't nailed down some things but here are the pictures i've got so far.





Hahaha, Some of my previous work, When i was mud racing it back in 08 :flipoff2:







My block,(Machine shop getting bored at the moment) Is a 400 2 bolt block, Going .040 and getting decked.


Picked that up at a junk yard for 10 or 15 bucks

Have all new metal for the blazer, besides the inner fenderwell, on that one side.

Are you going to do boatsides on the cab?

 

[Zembonez]

Holy crap you guys have some rust. Nothing ever rusts here.

I don't think so, I've never seen or heard of boat sides intill a few weeks ago, Like 2 days after i ordered all new rockers and other metal :/ Boatsides do seem like a better idea though.

Holy crap you guys have some rust. Nothing ever rusts here.

Oh yeah, Blazers and suburbans get it the worst here, because of the unibody deal. This is my 5th blazer, And everyone has been this bad.
