@73k5blazer in Michigan built one of those. He said that it took a BOATLOAD of work to put together. Looked great when finished though.

It's something I've dreamed of for years as the true answer to rust, but it's something like $12k for the body panels plus 1 billion hours of labor.
Remember this guy who had 2 of them? https://ck5.com/forums/threads/fiberglass-k5-made-by-who.280409/

Heck they have them for up to '91.
If I had the money I'd pay someone to do all the work. I don't have enough life left to finish that project. lol

I looked at them too. But it's like a $30k project. They even tell you in the catalog " it's not for a diy,er. You need some skills.
Would be great though. Just think, no rust.
PS. Got to get the tilt hood!

I’d go find the cleanest bodied 76-91 and do the full top conversion. The aforementioned thread is the only person I’ve ever seen do a stock-ish build. The rest are monster trucks/mud trucks.
Nifty though.

That's the right approach. I couldn't find anything full vert in my price range, so I picked up an ugly, but rust free, 90 for a conversion.

How does is fit??
for anybody on this thread that is curious how much work these bodies are from USbody, you can get a taste from my build thread. i bought one in 2021 and the body is technically done/ready for paint at this point.

‘76 K5 LS swap fiberglass body
Hi guys, I’m starting my build thread here. For starters I bought a wrecked 76 K5 blazer as an anniversary gift to my wife who grew up driving squarebodys. Im a few years into the project now and just got the truck into the body shop. I’ll post up some pics from the last few years.
