I have a problem with a “sticky” pedal apparently there’s suppose to be a spring?

I had wires in my 86 and 87 blazer What’re they??

Got myself a 1978 GMC Jimmy and the key I use for my doors does not unlock the tailgate. If anyone has information that can help I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m wanting to do a part time conversion on my K5. It has the NP 203 which is all time 4 wheel drive. There’s forums about it but I can’t seem to find the conversion that replaces the rear output shaft instead of the four bolted on plates. Does anyone here know where to find one or maybe has one?

I don't even want to say how much I've put into restoring this 72 K5, but it's going to be dang near showpiece quality when done. My body and interior guy says I now need to pick out.

1. External paint color (will continue to metal dash)
2. Removable top exterior color
3. Removable top interior color/headliner
4. Seat upholstery color and material
5. Center console color and material
6. Door hinges
7. Door handles
8. Door panels
9. Dash pad
10. Floor carpeting
11. Seat belt color

I would love some ideas. I have a few basic ones, but I figure the hive mind knows things that work... possibly examples that have already worked. Feel free to send links or images; I don't mind copying things at all. I'm not deadset on OEM at all.

Hi everyone,

I bought 1990 GMC jimmy, which similar to blazer in design.

I planning to prepaint it dark blue similar to the attached below link

https://www.gaaclassiccars.com/vehicles/37986/1990-chevrolet-blazer-silverado-1500

Is this dark blue considered as an original colour or not.

How would I find the color code of there any to be sure.

thanks in advance

Just got my k5 home, this has been sitting on a property for about 22 years best I can tell. Owner had hundreds of cars since before passing. The column has the wobble I’ve come to find is common. I know it’s fixable but the column doesn’t look in the greatest shape. The owner left a column that beat I can tell (from a tag on the key) is from a Astro van. Are these columns something that get swapped into square bodies often? I’ve done some googling but no solid information. Some of the items in the car were definitely intended to be installed at some point before his passing and I am unsure if this was intended for this k5 or just stored inside.

I ve got a 1988 that I am taking the sliders out and replacing them with one piece windows. Let me location and price. Thanks.

The previous owners had it set up to run on propane. They eventually switched to gasoline, but only had a 5 gallon fuel cell sitting behind the back seat. Originally found on Holley website for the same price. But once I entered my zipcode for shipping, the price nearly doubled. Then I went to Amazon and typed it in and there it was!

I have the original transfer case (they just don’t make them like they used to) and I’d like to keep it.

Anyone know what motor and manual transmission combo I should search for that can pair up to the original transfer case?

From what I’ve read it looks like LS motors are the best lasting motor. I ultimately want something I can realistically rely on for longer trips.

PS it’s down the to the frame now!

My k5 axle couldn't handle abuse anymore and since I'm in Saudi Arabia and parts for those axles isn't something available over the counter any more

I decided to do an axle swap

The axles is out of Nissan patrol GU61, with rear disc brake

It share same front drop like the k5 and has same width

Addition bonus the rear tires will look like it has spacers

Still thinking if i should go with coilovers, Nissan coils and shocks or keep it stock with leaf springs.

Installing the patrol steering box will give extra space since its connected rod will be above the frame

Has anyone purchased the seat reupholster kits? Where did you order it from? How difficult was it to do? I have watched a few YouTube videos and it doesn’t appear to be to bad.

I'm hopefully picking up an 86 k5 that is in immaculate condition.

What kind of mods do y'all recommend? Lift kits? Tire sizes?

I was thinking about putting either 33" or 35" tires on. I have a set of 15" american racing rims to pair with them. And then also looked at getting 2" blocks.

What are you're guy's thoughts? I'm not worried about gas mileage and how fast I can go. It has the 6.2 diesel so I know it'll be able to push it fine.

Painted the guage cluster housing and added some led's to brighten her up. I have a huge bag of random King of the Hill stickers, decided to start hiding them throughout the truck as I slowly repair and upgrade things. 😂

Body of an 87 K5 going on the frame of an 86 m1009. Rust is the reason. End goal is a daily driver that can tow a storage trailer, nothing crazy heavy. I'm imagining 12k at the way high end.

I know the bodies are basically the same but I'm looking for input on things I should do while the body is off. I'm heavily considering putting in a Dana 60 and corporate 14 bolt that came from a m1008 truck but not sure if it's worth it for my intentions. If I go that far should I upgrade or change anything? To my knowledge the m1009 is pretty much the same set up as it was when it served.

I would like to keep the electrical related stuff about as simple as it is now. With that in mind, what is worth considering? Imagine money isn't a problem and the only hold back is I'm not making a ridiculously over built monster.
