Blacked out K5

Traded for a K5 for the family. I now have 5 seats, tons and beadlocks. It needs a winch, a windshield and a to weld out the cage. I'll post up the progress as I get it going. Pictures and full specs to follow.

One ton swapped K5, 60/14, 350 TBI, 700R4, 241 T-case, 4.56 gears, locked F/R, disc brakes F/R, brand new 1350 driveshafts, full hydraulic steering, PSC ram, 11.7 orbital, 4" lift with cut fenders, ORD greaseble front shackles and hangers, winch bumper (winch will not go with any deal), full cage, heat works, no A/C, 39.5 TN cut TSL's up front, Aetna cut TSL's in back on 15x10 Allied beadlocks, fabricated diff covers F/R, pinion guard on rear, speedo, dash lights and all gauges work. The front windshield is busted. Rear window was removed from the tailgate then it got broke laying in the garage. So no rear window and one window is cracked in the top, but is still there and still slides like it should. Hard as hell to keep glass together in a full body rig. The driver and passenger windows are fine and still roll up and down from their switches.
It does have some rust here and there but nothing worth fixing in my opinion for an off road rig. The worst spot is in the rear floor, you might be able to stuff a cat thru the hole, but you certainly won't throw one thru it. It has rust in a few other spots like the doors, rockers and some in the rear at the end of the bed but it doesn't bother me as its a trail rig,runs and drives excellent, ready to ride. It's far from perfect but it's perfect for the woods with room for 4-5 and still have room for gear.

Compressor and lines are there.......I will be looking to fix it, if it is possible.
 
Always loved cruising in my dads blazer with the shell off. Good memories, I'm sure your little ones will dig it.

I hope to keep most of the sheet metal on it. It only has one or two spots that are creased.

Man this brings back memories. I used to have an 85 k5 back in the day....two tone brown on 35" boggers and 14"wide Welds. Couldn't hear a damn thing going down the road over the tires and I loved it lol.
 
I beat it today. Broke a window, ripped open a fender, tore out the inner fender on one side and leaked some transmission fluid. It was a normal day.
