Yeah, its a little different since you saw it in March
This summer turned out to be pretty intense on the build side of things for me.
Believe it or not the whole thing started out as adding a cage to my truck.
Then I figured that putting the cage into the truck would be difficult without cutting the top off
My initial plan was to build the cage and add most of the tube work that I have now, but to have a "full size" K5 that was tapered front and rear.
Then I wanted the sides boatsided. Once I cut that stuff off I decided that the windshield frame and firewall were way wider than everything else needed to be. The sawzall got a workout after that
If your goal is a buggy, start from scratch. There is so much about mine that I would have done differently (most of the tube work, for starters). Honestly, there is very little from a K5 that is worth keeping at the buggy level.
Once I had committed to building a truggy I figured that keeping the factory wiring was ok but a couple months after the truck was done I had a mystery electrical problem (nothing in the truck worked, no fuses blown, all the fusible links were good, etc.). I ended up rewiring the truck from scratch. I never found the original problem
Basically trying to fix and/or patch together the Blazer stuff ended up being more work than it was worth for the most part.
Getting the Blazer stuff to work is certainly an option. I've done plenty of it. It all depends on what you want to do.
I'm more than willing to answer your questions here, in PM's or on the phone
