‘76 K5 LS swap fiberglass body
- Thread starter Asherk5
- Start date
Those are Dakota digital “syndicate” series, purchased from square body syndicate.
It’s been a while since I updated this thread so here is what has been going on. I got the blazer home and stored before any snow and salt came. Will be ordering new dash pad, carpet, and retro sound radio soon.
As for the parts blazer, the frame is patched, body parts and rear suspension are installed, it runs and drives again. Still needs brakes fixed for stopping and front suspension swapped over.

We finally got the blazer together enough to drive into town this past weekend. The only interior installed is the gauge cluster, front seats, and front seat belts. i still need to restore all the trim as well as about 100 other things, but this was still a major milestone! we did run into an over heating issue which i will be digging into as well in the near future.
Does it have that new car smell?
The shine on that paint is awesome.
It's late, but you may want to consider hiring an independent auto appraiser to document and value the SUV. An independent documentation for replication wouldn't hurt.
Real world problem is a corporate bean counter adjuster would average two book values and want to pay off NADA value.
Even Old Cars Report Price Guide which used to be a good source for hi end vintage cars has a low value against Resto Mod values v. Costs.
Velocity starts around $100k for a restoration and upwards of $250k for a Resto Mod.
DuPont magazine might be a good starting point searching for the right insurance and people to document & value your truck. Years back, it was common to re Appraise classic cars annual.
Chubb Insurance or Haggery are preferred under writers of hi end property.

CT-Blazer, we are working on a name-your-price antique coverage through country. The body shop who did the prep/paint also does appraisals which is in the works. Once the truck is completely finished, we will update the coverage to a higher value as well.
Why not cloth? That thing needs plaid!

Plaid would be killer cool
Damn, I really like that. But that would never see the dirt if I owned it.
