Are rates outrageous?
My 1969 chevy blazer is almost done. Full body off restoration. I can’t wait to see the thing.
Depends on where you are and how much mileage you put on
Call your agent
I love the type like yours. My favorite body style out most Chevrolet trucks. Any photos would be great.
Mine is a 79 and I’d love to pull a full body restoration but I’m just one guy and have to accommodate a job, spouse, 11 year old GSD, and some bouts of aggravating periodically occurring health problems.
The 79 had been sitting in a barn before I ran across it.
My plan is to get it cleaned up as best I can and knock down as much rust as possible. I know I won’t get it all. Maybe one day it will see a body shop for a real paint job and the sheet metal stuff that I’m not really versed in.
I’d frame off restore my CJs before I’d do it to the blazer.
No matter what I plan on keeping the K5. I can fix 95% of the problems myself. 350 V8s and TH350 transmissions are plentiful enough and would replace both if either failed.
It has full time 4WD though.
I’ve got the hood, fenders, and bumpers off. The fenderwells were so eaten up.
There is a slight bit of lifter chatter on startup on one cylinder but shuts up.

I’m rebuilding my smugmug photo/video galleries and have a few K5 photos there. There are plenty more.
