K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

[1979 K10]

Dang, couple nice squares you got there. And in Gods country too! I could see myself in N AZ or N NM pretty easily. Love that part of the country.

We definitely pay a premium to live in Northern Arizona. Everything has gone up so much. I don’t think I could ever buy another place unless there’s a big market crash. Our only natural disaster is forest fires maybe a bad hail storm but hopefully that doesn’t happen since all my vehicles are outside.

Bud, I think you pay a premium to live anywhere anymore.
I’m jonesing to get back to somewhere with more than 129 days of sun a year. PNW is also unreal in its own right, don’t get me wrong. Just gotta look past some Bs to see the beauty here some days.
Biggest elk in the country out your back door too!

New grill, headlight surrounds, parking lights and taillights really freshened it up.

Waiting for interior carpet kit to show.

Also started another thread on converting from idiot lights to full gauges instrument cluster.

Hit the paint with a buffer, compound and polish. Really brightened it up but lots of dings and small dents in the hood and roof. It’s a good 15-20 footer, in the shade.

Those "modular" wheels are pretty cool. They haven't been available with the colored centers in a long time. Translucent red, translucent blue and also gold were available too.

I’m not a huge fan of these wheels but ditching the dented center caps and discolored hub rings helped. I saw a gold set for sale on marketplace but haven’t seen the red or blue.

I found a set of original k5 15” 6 hole aluminum rims on marketplace, they need polished bad but guy only asking $250 for the set. Everyone who has steel 6 hole rally wheels wants a minimum of $400 for a set that needs rust removed and repainted. I’ve been waiting for a set of 6 hole aluminum 16 or 17” ion alloy or similar to show up for sale used since new wheel prices are $200 per wheel!

Will probably go to a 33x10.5 or 11.5 on 7 or 8 wide wheel. I think a 10” wide wheel is too much unless you’re running huge 35” tires. These 31x10.5x15 look too small and just turned 11 years old.
