Hi fellas,
My name is Adam, and I live near Enterprise AL. I am an electrician on an offshore drilling rig, and am currently sitting two hundred miles off the coast of Texas. I have always been a lover of old iron, and I have a 1967 Chevelle that was my first car, and I still have it. I am currently searching for a cheap but solid 73-76 k5, and I will be sure to keep ya'll posted when I find one. Good to be here.

New to the K5 world. My brother just retired from the AF and returned to FL. with his 72 K5. I am hooked and now I need one.
I have been wheeling jeeps for several years but I like the "fullsize" of the K5.
If(when) I convince my wife that I need another project I will be looking to pick up a blazer.
Don't really care about the year but would prefer the 1st gen.

Newb here from Stoneville, NC, Names Terrance. I've been working on a 86 K5(10 bolts front and rear 
, 350, 3 speed with granny low, around 5" of lift and 31's, but i do have some 36's just got to find some 16x10 wheels so i can put them on). It's been a great rig so far but still has plenty of work and mods left to do.

Hi Jake,
My name is Denny Densmore. I am originally from SC but now make my home in NH. Our two Blazers look virtually identical. Mine is a 1991 White Silverado with grey interior and 31 10.50 BFG AllTerrain tires.
The reverse gear just went out in mine and I'm hoping to replace the stock 700R4 tranny with something stronger, like maybe a 4L80E or a 4L85E. I also plan to replace the factory 10bolt axles with something stronger, not sure what yet. A 4" suspension lift is also on the docket with a set of 4.88 gears and some 35 12.5 15 AllTerrains.
Any experienced advice on these modifications is greatly appreciated.
I'm glad to be a mamber of CK5 and look forward to meeting you all...
Many thanks,
Denny

hi, '91 K5 on East coast...
Hello,
Just bought a '91 K5 that I am going to dump about 10,000 grand into and make it like new/high performance. I will post pics of it as it progresses. So I may be asking questions here, so thanks in advance.
Also I am looking to move out to the four corners area, so any advice on the area would be great also.
Thanks again,
Grego

So, I have been looking at this website for a long time, finally decided to register and post, now that I just got another K5. I am in the military, currently stationed in Hawaii. I am on my second k5, had to get rid of the first one because of a blown engine and a tight budget. Now I finally have another one, an 89, 350 tbi, 4in lift with 33s. It needs a lot of work, but it is in pretty good shape for what I paid for it. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions! Thank you.

Hey everyone! My name is Tony. I live in Bend, Oregon, and recently found this web site. I have a 1988 K-5 and it's pretty much my full time hobby. I currently work as a maintenance tech with a large property management company, I am a volunteer EMT, and I am a former automotive electronics installer (building emergency vehicles). I am a huge fan already of DIY4X products, which I learned about on this site, and figure there is a lot I can learn about here. Maybe even some things I can share about. I would post pics of my truck, but the forum computer won't let me. I don't have enough "points," which I haven't figured out yet... but anyway, yeah... HI!
