What's up guys, I just picked up my first k5 about a month ago. New to the OOBS scene, but not GM trucks or forums. Had an '05 Z71 and sold it to get a couple mustangs. Hated being without a truck and I'm a sucker for an OOBS, so I bought one. Here's some pics, she's a little rough but it'll definitely be a fun project

Knew she (the blazer) had a little rust in the rockers/outer edge of the floor pans but I found quite a hole in the rear floor when I ripped the interior out. Picked up all the patch panels through work (employee discount FTW!!) now just gotta find a place to patch 'em in for a decent price. Been tracing all the old original and hacked up amateur wiring and a no start issue. Finally got just about all of that straightened out and gonna get to make some real progress on this baby.

Welcome to the forum Zach. Looks like it's got a pretty straight body. Definitly something to work with.

Howdy! That thing is actually extremely solid! You actually still have rockers, and the tailgate doesn't appear to be holding up the quarter panels.
