The rims are probly stock but there 15x10 so I dont know for sure , the former owner had them on the truck when i got it,I think there called renegades??Try to get some pics of the motor later that's what makes it nice...

Stats are:350, 30 over flat tops, Crane, Accel, Edelbrock, K&amp;N, Headers , Dynomax 2&amp;1/4" duals. Locker in the rear and slip in the front, 3:73 Gears,built t.350 with NP203 P/T kit custom drive lines etc. always something else to build, go faster and farther....never ending project!! And I love it!
 
whats the lift on it?? and tire size? Its about the height and functionability i'd want my daily driver

The lift is a 4" EZ-ride with dual shocks in the front and singles in the rear, 33" (sidewinder)Buckshot mudders, the former owner started the build and I was able to get it from him and finish what he started, I drive it everyday atleast fifty miles and have know complaints except the fuel bill, 7mpg.It is a 78 with the front clip of an 87' Todd basically put the cosmetics together and I finished the wheelin aspects of the truck, mechanics....I actually traded him a 90' toyota for the K5, what a steal, since I sold my last K5 I've been kicking myself for it, and when the chance presented it's self I jumped on it........his loss, I had 3,000.00 in the Toy which I bought to help out a friend in need and he had well over that in the Blazer so I can't complain!
 
I remember everyone used to call those Western Wheels back in the day when they were "new".

That jeep thing? Yah I understand it....... Like my Blazer? <a target="_blank" href=http://community.webshots.com/user/blazerk5>http://community.webshots.com/user/blazerk5</a>

Todd is here in Haines, he is currently running/part owner in an internet provider...( wytbear.com) He is a really cool guy, i took him fishing out here by my house and we caught 15 or 20 silver salmon in about a half an hour, yesterday, we had a blast, I told him just because he gave up his K5 for a toyota didn't mean he wasn't allowed on the site, maybe he's............ ashamed..LOL. I would be, I will tell him to get on here and haller at everyone.
 
I believe that it is a classic ...not for sure though, came with the winch I bought from an old timer here, which I've since had to completely rebuild...but works great now and much more dependable, and yes I DO have a great family!!!!!
 
Nice deal! As I recall Todd had that truck right! Guess it's up to you to send us the first snow shots of the year. Heard they got 5 inches in Anchorage last week. You get any yet?

Yeah, I hit the Kenai and Anchor last month for silvers (dollies and trout) on the fly ... boyhood dream come true!
 
I like the rims. They're not factory, but that style was pretty popular in the 80's. Several companies made them. I have a set of Hurricanes which are very similar, but have more spokes.
They might be Vortex's, made by Western I think, though as I said, they were made by several companies.



Still Poundin' "pavment" after all these years!!!

Yeah Todd started the build and I've since finished it pretty much ( less a few more thousand $$ ) and yes we have had snow here....3 inches for a couple days last week....about the same time as up north, will get some pics up when it gets deep and we start to play in it!!
 
We got 8" of snow in eastern Idaho last week.....We were fishing for rainbows at Henerys lake in a blizzard....Nice Truck....I would like to get that winch/bumper set up my self....
 
I picked up a set of those rims about 6 yrs ago from a guy. He told me they are made by American Racing, and just called them Turbines. I really like the look of them. I just bought a new set of steel modulars so the Turbines are for sale now. You cant buy anything like them new any more, so hopefully they will go fast
