1976 J-10 HONCHO frankenstein build

simo, rang, widetrack, bkilby,...

THANX for the compliments

every time I do a vehicle I say,.....never again...

but this thing is like a Life Sized tonka toy or stomper truck.

front bumper is OEM polished aluminum,

rear bumper is custom made replica of OEM in White....

I like both too, going to enjoy them both for a while.

WHOA!!

Great work - Very, very nice!!!

I like the chrome myself.. but I am old, and old school generally.

THANX MAN !!!!........ I APPRECIATE IT.

when I did the wagoneer a few years ago

and learned of the j10's and their potential, I had to do one.

WORKHORSE

I drive my 1978 K5 on an almost daily basis

for work at the sign shop/mini-storage,...8 to 10 MPG

thank goodness I have a 1/2 mile commute to work,....

I have had this K5 for 25+ years

had it flawless at one point, but now it is needing cosmetic attention.

put a GM crate 350 in 25+ years ago, and it has been trouble free....

it has hauled a lot of wagoneer and j10 parts,.....

SO I WANTED TO ASK WHAT MAKES A K5 EVEN BETTER ?

ANSWER: WHEN IT IS FULL OF JEEP PARTS !

Hey Dave. I sent you a direct message with questions on rust reformer. Thanks, kerry

[MysticRob]

Everything's looking great, Dave!
The bed and tire mount is perfection.

AHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! I am sure the Square body guys would disagree!! LOL!!!

it's a sweet Blazer for sure, Dave! Hopefully your Honcho gives you more troublefree years and miles, too!

BTW, I asked my 17yo son for his opinion on White v. Chrome; His vote was chrome.

[SOLSAKS]

thanx rang

I hope the j10 does well too

10-4 on the chrome choice !

With that red paint, vintage stripes, and white roll bar, it's white wheels all day for me.

Really sharp.

[SOLSAKS]

this weekend a friend who is an electrician, and OCD to boot,....

installed new door jamb switches

wired factory cargo light

& factory interior dome lamp

all associated switches and wiring

traced a "no ground" for rear marker lamp

diagnosed bad horns, and I replaced with new dual horns

hooked up CB power cord.

now I plan to install BJ's headliner first.....

my camera battery died....photos soon.

[Towtruck]

That truck is a knockout. Incredible attention to detail. WOW.

[SOLSAKS]

thanx TOWTRUCK

I really like your truck too....

would have been way ahead of the game

if I had got one as nice as yours to start with,....."if"

I have to say Dave, I prefer the Chromies as well. Really nice looking blazer, I wonder what it would look like with those white wagon wheels on it...
