1972 K/5 Blazer Ochre LS
- Thread starter HINZ28
- Start date
Started cleaning up the column and getting all steering back in working order. After tearing into it I realized it needed new bearings and the spring at the intermediate shaft was missing. Ordered a few parts and I’ll have it in good working order. Also couldn’t resist ordering a 15” factory style steering wheel like pictured.
Going to make the body nice too?
Good looking rig.

I’d like to think I will someday.
That’s way better for sure!
The parts rig is my 71 blazer. Basically been throwing parts on this thing for storage, the body is trashed. I’ll never restore this one unfortunately
After: Back on the rallies to keep it rolling

I like the way that spare looks. Are you going to paint it white?
I don’t know why it looks like that in the picture. I stripped it and put a fresh coat of white on it

Haven’t really got much done on this garage ornament. Threw the soft top on so it wasn’t rolled up in the corner any longer.
Had these used covers from another project so I has a guy toss some new buns on the frames and put them together. Getting the seats back last night definitely boosted my motivation. Maybe I’ll get it running soon

Lookin cool! Seats look great!
Any idea what that hole was intended for on the front fender?
Sick!
I’m sure I missed it. Why is it no longer sporting a turbo LS?
Got moved outside for about a month while a put a new CP3 in my Duramax. Looked good sitting out there. It’s back inside now and hopefully the motivation will come back. So many little things to finish up
Pack up and moving to a new home this week. Time to focus on other things for a while. Unfortunately this about cleans me out of my best 67-72 truck parts. I feel like it’s an end to an era. Feeling wore out on the 67-72 stuff, the market is completely screwed and I’ll never own the one I want. Finding parts and building them right now is also crazy. Gona let someone else handle this one.

My like is an un-like.
Congrats on the new home!
Would have liked to seen the finished first gen ... all your builds have been cool! Hopefully you got good money for it , and looking forward to seeing what you do next!?
All my dreams of owning the vehicles I had and loved in the past have gone to insane money.
I get it.

New house is on the list! In my post I was referring to the blazer going I a new home
Are you following along with the 86 K5?? It’s really what’s next. It’s been a great rig, I hope to hold onto it for a while.
