Thanks! If by "find" you mean repaint this one to match the trim, thats what Ill be doing.

I decided to pass on swapping the springs and give them more time to break in and settle. Also I installed some 2.5 degree shims on the rear because I had a real slight vibration and thought my driveline angles were off. The shims made it worse so I went back to the way it was and I think simply...

Im in a bit of a pickle. Ive had the camper on the truck for a couple weeks now and have probably driven it ~100 miles. There is a serious lean to the driver side. There appeared to be a slight lean when I initially installed the suspension but I chalked it up to just needing to settle a little...

Hub caps

Had a little delay due to the holiday and work but last night and today I got back at it. Finally started working on the interior of the cab of the truck. Ive had the parts for months and life has just gotten in the way. Plus Flagstaff is at 7000 feet and as soon as the sun goes down it gets...

Got some 35s installed. Forgot to put on the caps though. Slowly getting closer to ready for camping again.

After that, only thing left was prepping the piece of fiberglass I cut off the OEM top to fill the gap between the camper and the Blazer. Thankfully this has already been done by some guys over on CK5.com so I had lots of help, dimensions etc. to get started with. I proceeded to sand the cut...

One of the last things I had to do before getting the camper back on the truck for winter camping season in the valley was repair the paint on the roof. The old section of "floor" from the cabover bed area of the camper had sagged so much from age/moisture that it was resting on the roof for...

Carpet install round two because lots of pics. As new things get installed it really makes old stuff glaring. The plastic buckle holders are so brittle they cracked into a thousand piece when I tried to remove them so new ones are on order. The scratches in the center console are mostly hidden...

Anyone with a keen eye would have noticed new carpet in the picture where Im flexin on the stump. Now that the truck is just about ready to hit the road Im finally getting around to the interior. Instead of ripping out the old carpet and installing sound deadener I opted to try laying the new...

Ha, no idea, that was just a random rig parked at the trailhead down the street from my house.

Its probably a couple hundred pounds lighter than a standard stock Blazer. No fiberglass top and no back seat but otherwise its the same as any other K5 Blazer which are about 4200lbs.

Ok for anyone that is still paying attention, ITS ALIIIIVE!!!! Got everything buttoned up and slowly drove a couple miles listening for odd noises, trying to feel weird vibrations etc. I definitely need to tweak pinion angles so that will take a little more figuring before I can drive it more...

Sorry for the delay everyone, been super busy! Complete setup truck+GFC is still available. Current mileage is about 95,000 and going up as I drive it regularly. Also reposted the craigslist ad. Willing to accept offers.

Nope, this is the only old vehicle I've ever worked on!

The single biggest headache of this project thus far has been the brake lines. I saved them until last for good reason. The front soft lines meet the hard lines at the frame in a sandwich. Its the worst design ever. (Ive seen other Chevy trucks of the same era with mounts that hang below the...

Yep!

Yep, used one factory hole to hold the mount in place then marked and drilled 2 new holes and bolted it on. Offroad Design even supplies the hardware.

Aaaaanyway... Things are starting to get juicy in Blazer-land. Got extended front shock mounts from Offroad Design, which regretfully are simply stock Ford Superduty shock mounts. Not pumped about having Ford parts on my Chevy but whatever. They are very much "make them fit" type parts. You...

I got the U bolts cut down, ORD swaybar and disconnects installed, new pitman arm installed and decided I would throw the wheels back on and go for a spin around the block!! It literally lasted around the block. Obviously the alignment is way off, the brake lines are at their limit at...
