Diesel K10 build

[UncleWillie]

Alright plans are brewing. Things are falling into place.


Since I was a kid I wanted a Diesel Blazer. I had kind of given up on finding on then I a 95 S10 Z71 that I had picked up for scrap that had no motor or grill and bumper for sale. A guy called and told me he would give me an 82 K5 with a 6.2l and $100 for the S10. I nearly jerked his arm off getting the keys.
It is rough and has a lot of rust but is sitting on a (I think)4 inch lift and has a bad injector pump. It has changed hands so many times in the past few years without being titled I had a friend of mine who is a cop run the VIN and it all came back clean.

My neighbor is a diesel mechanic who owes me money so I am going to get him to fix the motor for what he owes me.

Here is the Blazer when I brought it home. I also found out it is a K10 not a K5.

Lots of rust. Nearly no floor on drivers side. And at some point some genuis painted the whole truck lights glass and all.

No door panels

Today I talked to a guy in SC who has this truck I am going to go pick up Friday. He is keeping the axles but I am bringing the rest home. I am going to pull the body off this and put it on my Diesel frame. No motor trans or transfer case

If the tan truck is in good shape I will bring it home and probably will put the 79 front end on it. I like that sheet metal better.

I love the square body Chevy's & a diesel to boot I'm not going to lie I'm jealous

At midnight last night I came dragging in with my latest prize. I figured the truck would have rust somewhere but this one is surprisingly rust free. Has one small spot of surface rust on the tailgate and the drives side rain gutter has some. Other than that the body is great.

Back glass is good it is just rolled down.

Good old red clay not rust.

Had to redneck the tail lights since the scrap yard loader killed mine on the trailer.
