The Jaws K5 Blazer

[tRustyK5]

My '83 mirrors which can be traced back reliably to when the truck was new say "DA" with the maple leaf on em. It could very well be GM had more than on OE source for the mirror heads and either is correct though. I'd run whichever matched pair were in the best shape.

The set that I have that has the Maple Leaf came off a very nice clean 1975 Suburban...the LO-MAR set came off a 1975 Sierra I think.
The mirrors are cracked on both the Maple leafs...I will end up mixing and matching parts to make one nice set.

You can always get new glass to replace the cracked ones.

The color is wrong but then again so is mine. does anyone know the correct paint code? Ive had mine on the vineyard for 5 years and its time I start fine tuning the details

Yep...I got it here somewhere...let me look..it's GM Code 527 "Yellow Gold"

You live on the vineyard? You going to Jawfest Tribute this year? I am wanting to go so bad...wish I could have my Blazer finished and drive it up and over on the Ferry.

Got pictures of your Blazer? Would love to see them. Also pictures of the Vineyard where the "Jaws" locations are.

I just live down there in the summer. Hell yeah Im going to Jaws fest. All my pics are on my office computer but I will post them soon. You gotta bring the blazer though bud. doesn't have to be finished. I have a buddy that sat in mine and instantly went out and bought and restored another 74. He may be down too although he did not do the jaws theme

Maple leaf mirrors prolly came off Canada trucks...

That's awesome

I think I have talked to you before on the Jaws Movie forum...I recognize that shot on the foggy beach.
Were you around when they filmed the original movie?

 

[Brody]

I wish I was. I'm only 36 though. Ive been on that forum. doesn't work too well though

They fixed it a bit not too long ago, although the better working one is http://thejawsboard.freeforums.org/the-jaws-board-f22.html

That's so cool to see topless Blazers rolling around the "Jaws Island"...I wonder how many are around? How many Brody versions are on the island?

I had no clue Jaws had such a following...

 

[Brody]

I haven't seen another. Many really cool cars there but I think the closest other is a 72 blazer blue. Lots of fun out on the beach though. How far from ready is yours? I remember you, We where going to trade Narragansett for Yuengling right?

 

[Brody]

Yes, its a sickness

It's pretty underground after all these years...

You know where Mello's Screenprinting is on the island?

Wonder if he's got any leftover JawFest hats and stuff?

 

[Brody]

It will be a big thing there. Many many followers on island

 

[Brody]

I can't picture it. Is it in Oak Bluffs?
