You and your daughter will enjoy that K5 for many years. I’m happy for you both.
I know about those decades long jobs that never end. A friend or two of mine have had them.
The Jeeps and K5 are slow go but they are all at the point where they need the pricey and somewhat labor intensive stuff.
One of the jeeps and K5 live about 3 miles away at building owned by the inlaws that let me use it as a shop. It’s full of junk but rent free and right around the corner from the local PD. There are other places right there that know FIL really well and kind of know me so there is another plus.
My 65 Willys lives at home if for no other reason there is something in the carport. My Tacoma is too big along with the wife’s Camry.
The Willys will go out to that building maybe in the winter to tackle the worn out steering box, lift kit, and brake system.
I took it for a spin to that building and back. It was a thrill ride of sorts. Willys wobble is no fun.
A blazer was something I always wanted but never happened for a lot of reasons. Some of them were actually practical.
This week I will do some electrical testing, swap out fuses and see if I can get the AC compressor to engage.
If I can’t, the AC will probably get removed eventually.
It’s been way too long, but many years ago, I remember selling a bunch of GM A/C fuses. It was not a normal fuse, it seems like it was about 1 1/2” long black rectangle.
ooh a 65 willys. Love those. Theres one about 2 miles from my house. Its been sitting in a driveway for a couple years now, beckoning to me. Ive been meaning to stop by and see if the owner has any interest in parting with it. Id love to see a picture of your 65.
Im really looking forward to jumping in the Blazer and taking my daughter up to the mountains for some fishing and kayaking. It’s the reason why i decided to bite the bullet and just get the thing done. I want to spend some time with my girl before its not cool to hang with the old man anymore.
