Great video man! I’m thinking about doing a video restoring mine, but it’s hard work and recording and editing adds more work, I hope I can do it, you inspired me!
Replace both of the door lock/un-lock mechanism, this will resolve your lock issue. I ran into this issue when I would close the door with it locked. If I locked it when the door was closed or I used the key no issue. Replace the mechanism. $65 per at Classic industries.
Vent window rebuild? Both of mine are trash and broken bolts. I also need that same topper glass you somehow found! So hard to find. I replaced everything in the tailgate window, which was fun lol
Have held up well. If you prep them and use an adhesive promoter they will hold up well in my experience but some of the high wear spots will have issues eventually especially with poor prep.
How does a setup like this do on highway and what not. I apologize for ignorance but ive been wanting a k5 for a daily. Kinda bored of newer cars. Been looking for a clean one for daily. How does it handle stuff like cruising and what not?
It cruises down the highway very comfortably. I’ve driven some that had loose steering that were a bit squirrelly but if they are set up correctly and running right, it’s a nice ride. (For leaf springs) 😂
Good content! Just some friendly constructive criticism for future vids, its a little distracting when you keep looking at your own selfview, followed by fixing your hair and glasses constantly, really seems to derail your train of thought as well and takes you longer to get sentences out.
I knew I sold the K5 to the right person! I love what youve done to it and its amazing to see it come back to life! Great work!
Thank you Byron! Its been an awesome project to work on.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video , you do things that the average person can do. I like that. I was thinking about starting a U tube channel

Can't wait to see it wheeling!
Keep watching! We take it wheeling!
I wish you had done a video on the weather stripping on the camper shell and the vent window.
K5s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🇺🇸
Nice k5 you have sir
Thank you kindly
It was a great video. Thank you so much
Thank you for watching!
Been watching since you got the blazer love to see how much progress you have made I have a single cab 84 and I want to start building it also
Thanks so much for watching! I have my eyes on another squarebody. lol

Ordered from locks for both sides and it fixed it right up. Thanks for watching!

Rebuilt the vent windows in the next K5 video. And yes that glass was tough to track down. At least it wasn’t a slider. Those are unobtanium.

What is the shop that you got the glass? I can’t find any anywhere! I’d greatly appreciate it.
has the painted interior pieces and trim held up ok or are you having any issues with it chipping and peeling ?
Have held up well. If you prep them and use an adhesive promoter they will hold up well in my experience but some of the high wear spots will have issues eventually especially with poor prep.
I have a 77 Blazer that is a good start to restoration and am wondering if y'all do project trucks like this for your show?
Yes sir. Would love to get a hold of a round headlight squarebody to work on.
If I was in your position, it would take me an hour just to pick which truck I was going to drive every morning.. how do you make it to work on time?
My blazer has been missing the very back glass for probably a decade now, rear carpet just needs to be replaced but that's about it
That back glass can be hard to find.
@@winchoutdoors for sure, worst case scenario I'll bedline the back and hope for the best

Bondo, sand, paint
