Greetings all, I've been over on ChevyK5Blazer for a while now and have seen so many bad-a$$ rigs locally with Poorboy stickers I thought it was time I introduced myself to the group.
I've driven cars all my life and bought a nice clean 70 K5 a few years ago from a guy up in Portland who bought it off e-bay out of Georgia. Looking for information on fixing it up I found the above mentioned Chevy site and started watching what guys were doing to their rigs... Seeing that I didn't want to cut up or wheel my 70 I found a suitable 86 for sale down in Canby. Stock, stock, no option, stock blazer, with a 4blt main 350 and a rebuilt (supposedly) 700r4.
Here's the 70:
And the 86 as I bought it:
So far I've installed D60(spool) 14blt(open) 4" tuff country springs, zero-rates in the back, some newer Tahoe seats, little stereo, some bumpers that were quickly pulled off this weekend after I got stuck in the mud...
Seems like I've done a lot more work than that but I'll skip the minor details. Here is what it looks like today.
Yea, not much different looking huh.
Anyways, good to meet some of you already and I look forward to sharing what I know and learning a little from all of you.
