So I bought this '70 K5 and fell in the rabbit hole ever since. It was tired, a victim of someone's "perfume on a pig" restoration. Original 350/350.Paint is nice.
Nice Rig, yep needs more pics!!
Thanks man I'm working on more pics outside the shop I'm tired of posting parts lol
Looks like this should be cool !!!
More pics n work coming in the next couple days, second shift is killing the shop schedule
Yesterday was a good day. High angle driveline, double cardan, 1350s
So in order to fit the traction bar on the 12 bolt with the shock in stock location I had to remove the mount, cut it in half and incorporate it with the lower bolt. I also welded the axle tubes to the center section
Good thing it'll hold itself up without a cross member while I wait for my transmission
Also got the fender well headers mocked up so I can hang the tube and mufflers. I'll probably get flamed for trimming my firewalls but most will never know it even happened once I'm done (I hope) so flame on haha. 
Finished up my exhaust. Came out better than expected with using the old parts cut up n refitted. I dig it
Very Cool blazer!
Nice work!
Nice work!
cool idea....
Fenderwell headers and mufflers mounted in the torsion box area. might have to steal that.

Pretty cool idea, or is it hot idea?
It's definitely gonna be a "hot" idea I'm thinking about lava mat right behind the header on the firewall. I'm already not running carpet/flooring so the tunnel was pretty warm.
It worked out really well and they tuck up nicely but of course the torsion boxes would have to be removed. Mine were already nonexistent and I plan on caging the body and poly mounting to the frame this winter. I hate the design of the stock boxes anyway for their mud collecting I have a crazy idea I may try as well to make a tube version of them and sandwich the body between lower and upper cage plates. We'll see... @Greg72
might want to stick some of that heat barrier on the HVAC box too.
Yea there's a bit more room between the tubes and box but it's not a bad idea! I'm just wondering how well this stuff is going to adhere to both the fire wall and heater box.
Finally some cosmetic parts. I think these will look better than the camaro "super sport" badges that were in place. Also a lokar cable/column shift since the headers are in the way now
Great project, what size ansens and tire are those?
15x8 and 35x12.5
So I thought while I'm on break at work waiting on getting out in the shop tomorrow to reseal my tcase adapter and install my Detroit locker/axles I'd share some photos of the water pump I had to concoct to retain my heater.
