    ‘83 K5: Confusion with ordering the right grill. Please help!

    I now realize after looking up the grill PN 150-4085-11 that I had mistakenly ordered from Summit is for an ‘87 single headlight configuration Blazer instead of a dual headlight however the question remains. Will an ‘87 style grill with duals and parking lights fit my ‘83? In other words, are...

    ‘83 K5: Confusion with ordering the right grill. Please help!

    Once again I’m needing assistance with my ‘83 K5. See pics. The black grill is what I removed during my restoration. I realize it’s not correct for an ‘83 model with quad headlights and the parking lights in the grill. I can’t explain why it fit unless the entire core support was replaced with...

    ‘83 K5 Restoration- where do these parts go?

    On my ‘83 K5 restoration I apparently didn’t label these parts during tear down. Can anyone tell me where these parts are installed? Typically, if/when I don’t label a part is because it would have seemed to be obvious where it goes but I can’t remember on these. Thanks, as always!

    ‘83 K5: how to seal underbody cavities behind rear fenders?

    Okay, thanks for the info. I guess it’s time for more fabrication. Maybe, I’ll try to make a pattern for others in need.

    ‘83 K5: how to seal underbody cavities behind rear fenders?

    ‘83 K5: I’m ordering the splash shields for the underbody cavities behind the front fender wheel wells but is there any such splash shield in front of the rear fenders? I haven’t found anything. What have y’all been doing to seal this area from dirt, mud and rust? These cavities seem like they...

    Smittybuilt Tubular Bumpers from FB Marketplace. Did I get a good deal?

    I got them for free. The guy wanted to go back to the factory chrome bumpers which I traded my old beat up chrome bumpers for his Smittybuilt tubular bumpers.

    Smittybuilt Tubular Bumpers from FB Marketplace. Did I get a good deal?

    I found a set of old Smittybuilt tubular prerunner style bumpers on FB Marketplace and drove 2 hours each way yesterday to pick them up. Considering how expensive new aftermarket heavy duty tube style bumpers are and the cost of freight, and before I admit how much I paid for them I’d like to...

    Please remind me where these old/removed parts go on an ‘83 K5.

    I’m not sure where exactly you’re referring to but the fenders have not been off. Only the doors, hood, tailgate, engine/trans/transfer case/driveshafts, AC/ducts/fresh air doors, cowl, dash, grill, bumpers, topper and interior were removed, restored, rebuilt or replaced during my approximately...

    Please remind me where these old/removed parts go on an ‘83 K5.

    I can’t remember where these parts go. Obviously they attach on each side of something since they are symmetrical. They look like window channels but I’ve already rebuilt my doors and tailgate. Could they have been superseded by a new design that I’ve already installed? Please provide an exact...
