Current Project

This truck is my project truck I started about 3 years ago. While things have been slow here at camp, I've been working on it. This is a 1977 K5 Blazer. This was the truck my dad and I used to move here to Redcloud in 1997. The truck died about 7 years ago. I asked my dad if he would give me the truck and his old 83 suburban so I could build one good one. He gave me the trucks, and I took the 3/4 ton drive train, including the engine and transmission out of the suburban and installed it in the Blazer. I drove the truck out of the shop for the first time about a month ago. I’ve pieced this truck together out of a lot of parts I had sitting around. Its amazing how little I have spent on it. Currently I am in the process of repainting it the same camo design as Redcloud’s army trucks. Eventually I am going to put bigger off road tires on. The idea is this truck will be the toy I can play in the mountains with.
