Hey JP, thanks for your comment, the body still hasn't been touched and probably won.t be until spring. I just picked up a used GM 350 HO motor for it so I am playing around with it right now.

This is my Nightmare/Project. I accidentally tore it apart 5 years ago. Cancer takes a long time to heal.

the starting point
then i banged the fender so the work started, i repaired the floors then herculined the inside.
while i did the herculiner i pulled the doors off and replaced them with a clean rust free set from my old burban.
now shes getting a new front clip and fresh paint.

Thanks for the reply JP, No resent pics, but I have finished rebuilding the motor and I am currently in process of getting it placed in the frame rails. I'll try to get some new updated pics of where everything stands row.
Here's mine so far.
the interior is all done but the seats that should be done by the end of the month.
Then I'm going to work on the frame and drivetrain
Rob your frame looks great, I hope mine turns out like that too.

'86 with Isuzu Turbo-Diesel Swap
Here's my '86 with re-worked front fender lips, new paint and painted hard-top. Interior is ready to go in, and I'm gonna test fire my isuzu turbo diesel today!
The motors is from a cab-over NPR box truck (AKA chevy W3500). Has a bigger turbo from a buick grand national and a worked injector pump.

A "before" pic, and the gutted interior now
I remember in Feb. the inside looked like that also, when I started putting mine back together.

just picked up my nos doors today. this is my favorite thread in the whole site. it makes me wish i could modify mine w a nice set of 35"s, but i feel obligated to rebuild it to original b/c of it being unmolested and having a nos body for it.

I understand where you're coming from. My truck has all original metal, I had it shipped from Reno NV 5 years ago and it'll never see a NY winter. As you know K5's are just farm trucks now in the NorthEast.
Yup, I'm glade mine has never really had any rust and when it got hail damage i was able to get GM sheet metal to fix it.

restore
what i started with: used for 24 years as a work truck and then tucked away for another 15 in storage.
got it out during the summer and it started right up, so I had to take the shell off and run around in it for a few months
looking at a finish date for the body work and paint around late November, early December

This is my 76 k5 it was my dads and now its in my hands for a much needed second lease on life. Its another rusty blazer but that didn't scare me. I am doing a full Resto on the truck. I have doors, quarters, fenders, hood, tailgate, floors, rockers, all new brakes and lines, new interior, hears some pics of wear it is at as of now. it took me a long time to get it wear it is and I am a long way from finishing it but I cant wait to drive it.
