Hi there

Hi,

I am from Dallas TX. I am new to 4x4s but not so new to working on cars. Previous vehicles were a 69 Chevelle and a 92 Camaro.

I rescued an 82 chevy k5 blazer w/ a lift kit and 32 inch tires. I do not know much about it, just that last guy hacked up a lot of wire and ghetto rigged the air filter so it would stay on the carb. All I know that its an old farm truck that was left to rot in a field and had not been running for years before my brother towed it back to apartment w/ his 92 K5 4x4.

We got the rebuilt transmission rebuilt by a local transmission in Monroe LA that installed a shift kit for 4x4s and I drove it back to dallas on bad brakes and leaking rare main.

Last month I got the breaks fixed and I got the vehicle inspected and registered. I finally got to take it out of my neighborhood and take it down to the fishing hole near my house and hit every mud puddle down the trail

The trucks is in real bad shape, it will mostly be a trail truck, but I will at least get the inside and the body rot fixed. I am hoping to do most of work.

Here are a few pics

I've looked at this site before, but never registered. Once I had the amazing realization that you didn't to pay for this part, I signed up. For a 17 year old, money is kinda tight these days. But I love the site and i'm glad that I can post, may upgrade later. I have a 73 K5, no major mods...yet. Maybe I'll take some pics and post them when I get a chance.

Hi all. I have a 1980 K5 Blazer with a 502 BIg Block that pumps out 510 Horses. It has a 4 inch lift with 33's. It has a custom front bumper W/ a winch and lights and a custom one off roof rack with 6 KC lights in front and 2 out back. I use my rig for play. I use it to hunt with and we go to Rocky Point Mexico and run in the sand a few times a year. Glad to be a new member and hope to here from all of you soon.

nice ride

loki85, Thanks for the E mail. You have a nice rig. I have not posted any pictures yet of mine. I will have to work on that. Sounds like you have a good start on a good off road truck. A lot of it is the driver, but a good rig will help too. Talk to you later 1980the beast

You have to be a paid member to have a signature. Nice truck, you aren't talking about putting a dana 60 in the rear are you? If so, I would definitly say thats a bad idea and you would be downgrading

 

[Loki 85]

1980thebeast...did i email you? i'm so scatter brained that it's not even funny, and muddermilitia, i'm keeping the 14 bolt for sure, i'm upgrading the front to a 1ton 60 bro...this HD 44 isn't bad, but i'm a fan of tons, so i'm upgrading...

so where's a good place to pick up a Factory Service Manual for the price of say...FREE
