k5 blazer, 44in tires, new project at Ultimate Collision Center...

Well I have been looking for a project car for my younger brother, Shawn, for a while and we were up and down on what to do until I came across this machine. It was originally owned by an older couple up until this past year when the previous owner bought it and modified it to the state its in now. It has a 130k on the chassis but is overall very clean. It has a 12in lift, dana60 in the front and a 14ff in the back and 44in tires currently but we will likely throw some 39in tires on it to get some more flex as the 44in tires will rub on full flex. We will be sandblasting the underside and repainting it and then painting the entire truck some new color but just not sure what yet. I know its different than what most here on the forum like but I have always had a thing for lifted trucks (my first car was a 83 chevy k10 stepside pickup raised on 33x15.5 superswampers which is getting restored as we speak).


He is 6'2" to give you and idea of the height of the truck

Should be a fun project. If I had more parking and more mechanical know-how, I would have an old-school 60's bronco with 32-33" tires just for fun.

Duramax diesel swap. Convert to biofuel.



Yesterday, I saw some douchebag in a lifted truck on ~34s. Left lane lounging going 62 (speed limit is 60) for 30 miles, something looked funny with the truck... finally noticed when we both exited at the same ramp... no front diff.

Beautiful K5. Even though I'm a bronco owner and fan, I love the K5's. Sounds like a great project.

I too have a 95 EB, though it is just an emergency and occasional tow vehicle now
