The ‘79 K-20 ( ? ) has gotta tach - extra points !

It does and I didn't even notice it until after I paid and started loading it on the trailer.

If either one of these have the crossmembers with the riser brackets please put me in line if they aren’t spoken for ?

Thanks, Tom

I can look at them tomorrow, but it will take time to start pulling parts from these.

It’s all good !

The white blazer is a 73 and a good base for a wheeler. The K20 is a 79 GMC. The one I didn't get pics of is a 79 K5 Blazer with terminal cancer.

Is that a dealer roll bar turned into a roll cage?

 

[kennyw]

That is what it looks like.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Cool.

If I ever manage a K5 and you run across any of the dealer roll bars keep me in mind.

Riser brackets?

Are you talking about the ones for the secondary crossmember that was used with the skid plate?

Nope - not those small 90* “L” brackets that position the secondary crossmember on the ‘73~’79’s after the frame upward bend on the K-10 & K-20 skid-plate option ( from what I can tell the narrower ‘77 and earlier K-5’s and all Burbn’s straighter lower-longer frame rails don’t require these ).

The ones I’ve been talk’n with KENNYW about are the older style setup from the ‘67~’75-ish brackets ( see pics ) that tie in the upper frame rails to the lower mounted crossmember - also, the mid-seventies version that wraps around the frame rail on the driver side but still uses the riser brackets on the passenger side ( added a pic of that one too ).

NOTE: pics are having trouble loading - I’ll try again in a little while. It’s fixed now.

Oh, I believe I have a crossmember and the pair of riser brackets. Where, I don't know. I'll look though.
