Dang these are fetching some $$$! This one was pretty cherry though with low miles.

Yep, stock in tip top shape with low miles brings the cheddar. That one was super nice.

Problem is everyone sees that and thinks theirs is only a couple repo parts away from being that nice and prices it sky high.

Reminds me I need to get some new bfg’s, those look good on there

Agree. That black one is really nice. And now others will justify their 300k mile shit box is worth that much with rust.

Good example of a well preserved Blazer.

I did 32's on project Bone Stock. They turned out great. Mine wasn't anywhere nice as the one on BaT.

They have some nice ones on there, and they sell at decent prices for the condition.

There was a rust free 1990 k5 in the junk yard about a year ago that had original paint and no dents. About two weeks later the body was pretty much completly gone from people sawzall body parts.

That looks great with 32’s, i assume 32x11.5? May have to do that on mine with a zero rate in back.

Yes. 32x11.5. Best size IMO for stock height. Not even close to rubbing but still looks good. Did spacers on the back too to match the front.

Man those are SHARP.
Just like houses, they get twice as expensive as my money doesn’t get twiced up.

I am probably the farthest away from having a clean rig now even though I’m making the most money I have ever had.

Awesome, was planning to address the narrower rear end when i do axle swap, but may have to do spacers for now. Drives me crazy.

That came out really nice

Thanks. I hear ya! I feel like I still struggle even though I'm making good money and a few small investments paid off. End of the month I wonder why I'm close to a zero balance. This economy and inflation is not helping either.

Drives me crazy too. Just ordered some spacers for my fresh blue/white K5 project. Thats the new one I have not shared yet. Thinking project Blue Balls for the name...

Thanks! The gray/black 89 came a long ways from where it started. Kind of satisfying when you look at the before and after pics.
