[Volant1]

I picked up my new project, its a new to me 1978 K5

[blueflamed03]

nice find, those are getting rare to find!!!

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

great project for ya! did it come with a hard or soft top?

[Volant1]

Hard top, wish is had a soft top though, I got it from a family friend it has a nice new top end so it should be a easy fix up

[Bad bow tie]

Nice looking Blazer. I want to get a k5 so bad and build it into a dune truck and off road monster. In the next few years hopefully.

[Volant1]

Well I pulled my 6.0 motor out of my ho and put the 5.3 back in, I cant wait to get this motor in there

[BlueTahoe2001]

Sounds like it's going to be a monster!

[Volant1]

baby steps I still need another trans and to fix mine in the ho, and to add air lockers steering brace and milllion other things first

[JKmotorsports]

So the 6.0 is going in the K5? That's gonna be killer man. Wish I could find a decent K5 to play with.

[Volant1]

Thats the plan ive been stockin the CK5 forum, there are quite a few guy's doing it, the truck came with a 400 it has a fresh 350 now so ill run that while I collect some more parts and money lol

I have 2 K-5's, an '85 and a '74, I love the '85 because it has been built up and very dependable, plus it has the Edelbrock EFI setup on a strong 350. I love the '74 because of the full removable top, no DEQ, PTO ramsay winch, and a freshly rebuilt strong 350!!
I love the K-5's, they are such great off road rigs!!

[Volant1]

A little muddin

[Effeckt]

That looks more like a lot of mudding! Good times!

[Volant1]

Man I would love to full top it but I have to change the windsheld frame, one day one day

[Volant1]

New bumper & HID's

[RSymons]

nice, like the k5s!

[fatnlowtahoe504]

ah ived been wanting one so bad! always loved them

[Volant1]

So Im pulling the motor and things have snowballed into a frame off resto, has anyone done a under body spray that they have had success with?

[07Burb]

Nice square dude!!! It's not spray (but I think it can be sprayed with the right nozzle) but I undercoated mine ('77 C-10) with POR 15 and it's great stuff! Goes on really smooth and dries really hard.

[Volant1]

I was looking at the por-15, I think its a toss up between the POR and u-pol raptor

[07Burb]

The good thing with POR is that it's easy to use. However, when you use it you may want to wear long sleeves, gloves and long pants. Whatever you get it on will not come off and that includes clothes and skin (until it wears off). It's kind of pricey but it spreads really well so a little bit goes a LONG ways. Also, it's made to go over rust so no need to blast the frame or under part of the body completely clean. When doing mine I just knocked off the loose rust and first layer of rust off with a wheel and applied the POR 15. It went on smooth and has held up very well.
