Hi guys, I posted here a while back without owning a off road rig. Well I'm pleased to announce I am now the owner of a new to me 1988 K-5. It's mostly all original and the PO was the original owner.
I'll post up some pics when I get access to my laptop.

I am sorry to say it here but there is no short wide bed.
Its short wheel base SWB and you have a fleet side bed versus the step side bed.

Not so new newbie
Hey all,
My name is Steve and I recently purchased my third K5 Blazer. This one is an '87 (the newest I've owned) and came all blacked out with a 4" lift and 35x14.5 (yes 14.5) SS Boggers on it. The tires are going to be changed soon since this is my hunting/play truck and a two hour drive is going to be rough on that wide of a tire.
Anyway I've been using the forum the past few weeks to help out with certain issues the truck has and the forums have helped quite a bit. Figured I'd join up because I know I'll be needing to find parts and such down the road. She's not perfect but she is a good solid start. I'll try and get pics up soon.
Thnks.

Hi
Hi all my name is Brian I’m new here. I got a 1975 blazer 350 4X4 with 37's about 1 year ago. it is a real fixer up lol. So have been just working on getting it to be a reliable driver before I start on the body. But that came to a haut when I went on deployment. So now all I get to do is look at parts and plan on what to do when I get home. My shop is filling up with parts for when I get home. Looking forward to getting some advise on stuff.

New to the board
Hey all, I am Jason and I am new here. I have spent 8 years looking high and low and on n off for any year and any shape Blazer or Jimmy and finally laid down some cash on this 90% rust/rot free 72 CST Blazer.
Option list is pretty long compared to my 70 GMC 1500
Power Brakes, Power Steering, A/C, Tach, Hand throttle, posi, 3.73 gears, buckets, and its a BLAZER. Woo I am excited!
Plans?
Yes
80s/90s Burb, Blazer, Sierra, Silverado drivetrain meaning a 350 Vortec or TBI with a 700 or 4L60 or 80 backed up with a 205 or 208
Buy a new wiring harness for under the hood from GMC Pauls
Macco $350 black paintjob (it will be in the woods why put an expensive paintjob on it?)
Mickey Thompson Classic Locks all the way around
4' lift with 33s
Offroad bumpers with lights
CB
More to come when I bring er home Friday

This is definitely the place to be.
I'm usually not a fan of the flat black look, but yours appears to be done right. I like it.
Thanks man! Yeah normally I dont like it either because everyone does it but this one was done right (previous owner had it painted)

Hello from Kansas
Hello to everyone! Ive been lurking around the site for a few months now and picked up a 79 Chevy yesterday on the cheap so I decided i should join. Ive had a few 4x4s in the past but always end up selling them for something else then buying another later on down the road, I guess its kind of an addiction so to speak lol. Not sure what the plans are for this truck yet, its either going to be a beater or a full on restoration, I think the beater part sounds more fun
