Thanks! I saw the Holley ones but they are 3-4 times more expensive so I decided to try out these ones first. If they crap out I will get the Holley ones.

I was so sick of suspension and axles that I moved onto steering. This involved ditching the stock "4WD" steering gear in favor of a "2WD" gear and crossover steering from Offroad Design. I opted for a PSC steering gear that is ported for hydro steering, because you know...planning for the...

So I have been learning a lot on this project. Ive really learned a lot on the front axle. I always wondered how alignments happened on a solid front axle vehicle. Well here you go. There is a tapered sleeve for the upper ball joint that is also eccentric. It allows you to adjust camber/caster...

Springs installed! The stock springs had crappy little degree shims that I removed per the suggestion of some people on CK5.com. Hopefully the caster angle is correct without them, more on that later. ORD front shackles, greasable poly bushings and bolts everywhere. The crazy stock steering...

Catch up time! Holy crap the last month has been a whirlwind. I got a ton of work done on the truck in early September. Tore apart the whole front end, chopped off the stock shock mounts, installed all new outer axle seals, spindle seals, bearings, upper and lower ball joints, brakes, repacked...

Still available. Lots of interest, no sale yet.

Dove in head first today... Camper is in the driveway for a few days. Rear suspension is almost done except my shocks have eyelets for a 1/2" bolt and stock is 5/8" so unless I can find the weird K truck specific upper rear shock mounts with a 1/2" hole Im going to have a machine shop take down...

Aaand more pics

Well I finally finished painting. Holy crap is it time consuming and tedious. Spent the last week prepping, priming and painting the front wall and cabover bed platform. Also massaged, sanded, primed and painted the trim pieces that are involved in this project. 3 coats of Kilz "Mold and...

I managed to get both panels cut, sanded and primed this evening. I also got the leafs, bushings and shackles assembled. Baby steps but progress is progress. Truck is parked outside tonight with no top so fingers crossed the dry weather lasts for one night.

Most likely selling the GFC separately in which case the truck will no longer be for sale. Currently still available though.

Well looky what we have here!!! A few wiggles and it came right out! I couldnt believe it. Should be simple to get the new piece in, in one piece. Ive been in this position before but this is the least stressful/least work it has ever taken to get here. Fingers crossed. One negative is I...

Where are you located?

***willing to sell everything separately if someone wants the camper only***

The cabover bed was definitely in contact with the roof for a very long time. There are a few spots of raw metal that are very thin. The roof of the truck is going to need some attention. As for the camper front wall it was worse than I expected. I didnt notice previously but someone had made...

Well I finally got some work done on the Blazer today! I got crushed at work in August and its been raining nonstop which has made it difficult to get the camper off the truck. Finally did this afternoon and it went really smoothly. Wife helped but we realized that one person can definitely do...

Back on the market 8/27/22 at 1pm.

Everyone wants a full size truck because thats all the rage right now. Myself included.

Thanks!

Thats great, thanks Louie! I do recall seeing this facebook ad at one point. I think it was in a barn where the car lot kept some vehicles. It is a remarkable story, I love the little details like this that keep popping up.
