Good idea. Nice K5 man. I took pictures of pictures of pictures because I didn thave a digi cam until my graduation, and alot of this happenned a few years ago. Heres a few pics, my blazer has chaged a lot the 3 years I have owned it, and a lot of the stuff I have done I didnt list.

The day I bought it. 4 different tires, baby crap paint, hatch didnt close, no p/s, barley ran, ect, etc.

Cleaned it up a little, more decent.

Pulled the body off the frame, sandblasted and painted the frame and underbody of the tub, 1" body lift, new body mounts.

Primered, new tires, wheels, top, weather stripping, engine, rebuilt tranny.

Rocker panels

Lift, 12" 42's, 10b, 14b.

Flexin

NV4500, more lift in front, 14bolt front axle, crossover, hi steer.

TPI

Paint

Unless i missed something, there still is no 14 bolt front AXLE. it's just a 14 bolt front HOUSING!!

Not a K5 but a K10
Here she is in October 2001 when I first bought it, bald 235s, no tailgate, grill...sitting on the half deteriorated bench seat, no lights inside of the cab worked.

This is how it sat in our garage the summer of 2002 in various stages of body work awaiting paint

Here it is two weeks after paint, and I had gotten all my trim on, still bald 235s, no dash, I had put in a refurnished seat but I cant find the pics of the old seat.

This was how the original carpet looked

after I bedlined the floor

this is from about a month ago, Since paint I have added two 6 inch chrome lights, a toolbox and CB whips, also a Ag Hitch

I plan on getting a new 6.2 motor in it, a new 700R4 with mods or a turbo 400 tranny, 14 bolt rear axle, Dana 44 front or swap my 10 bolt to 8 lug on the front. Then get 4.10 or 4.56 gears and 35s, and 4 inchs of suspension lift.

[MTBLAZER89]

LOL Sapper you before picture always reminds me of mine. When I got it second owner..perfect inside and out.

Got a 4" lift and some 33's.

Hung around here for a bit..found some good deals on 3/4 ton stuff and a detroit. Still 33's

Found a good deal on some 36" TSL's cut a little bit.

Lovely wife bought me some new 37's and lost the stock bumper

Crossover and a winch.

Cut a little more and how it is today.

It's still "pretty", but that shouldnt last long because I live near Esteban and Jason now and we've all seen what happens to their rigs...
