3 weeks ago I picked up this 79’ Blazer in Minnesota. Checked the oil, diffs and transmission fluid. Shook the loose front end parts to confirm they were good enough to make it back to Montana And hit the the road.
I purchased this K5 for a father /son project with my 11 year old son. He loves these square body K5s and I figure in 5 years it will be pretty nice, and I get to daily it until he is 16! It appears to be a Custom Delux with a trailering Package, power rear window that works and a factory 350 ( based on vin ).

The bad and what it Needs-
The outer floors and rockers - rust repair starts this month.
Every part on the front end needs replaced but there isn’t any evidence of frame damage around the steering box, yet.
Has long tube headers on a low horsepower 350 - for the record that doesn’t make it do anything better. Looking to get some shorties or 2.5” ram horns.
The good and good enough for now
New dealer installed crate long block seems tight and runs great
Fresh turbo 350 transmission
New radiator
New brakes- master / calipers and some lines
The body has some dents on front fenders but it’s a solid truck with no rust on the body or frame - just rockers and very outside floors.
I have about a grand in parts headed my way from LMC and Jeggs so should be seeing plenty of updates the next couple months.
