And the last few
So, the plans. Obviously clean the cab up, get everything swapped over from the K5 to the C10 cab and get it ready to go. Pull the Blazer body off, clean up the frame, do some work while the bodies off, put the body back on and drive the nuts off this thing!
Going to use the AC part of the AC cab?

Wow pretty clean.
You putting diesel badges on your truck now? 
Yep, definitely a lot better than whats on there.
You putting diesel badges on your truck now?
No, I'm putting the whole cab on my truck
Looks good man. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
Thanks guys... Gonna be starting the teardown of the Blazer soon I think.
Such dangerous words...

[/quote]I know that.
I was wondering if you're gonna keep the badging when you install the sheet metal.I've been told that adding the right stickers can boost horsepower, reliability, and resale value.

[/QUOTE]I like the badges. I've wanted badges since I got this truck eight years ago (WOW, it's scary its been that long) but the 91's never came with any fender badging. I may get some custom stuff from DIY
Cool. What sheet metal (if any) are you going to have behind the cab?
I'm not 100% certain on what I wanna do for a bed. Either tube/steel or wood. I am going to see what the cab looks like on the frame and make a decision from there. I am open to input though
Is the K5 bed completely gone? I was thinking you had patched the rear together well enough to reuse.
Have you thought about using a short trailer bed like Richard did? Or would that be too much work to find/make one that short?
Maybe you should post up some current body shots so we can see what you're starting with.

It's toast. The quarters are shot, the rear floor is hacked together, and the drivers side seatbelt mounting just ripped out of the floor
Thanks man, it's hard to find clean parts up here.

Yikes! Are you talking about my blazer, by any chance? I still don't have an anchor for my seatbelt. It's the new wireless seatbelt option.
Just so the current pics are up to date.... Here's what the K5 looks like as of right now. It honestly breaks my heart a little to see it like this. I've owned it 8 years now and it was my first vehicle... We've had a long journey together.
a few more...
Beings this cab is from a diesel and was set up for hydroboost, would I be better off swapping to that while I'm here?? What parts would I need?
