    smog equip. any value/interest ?

    My '80 Blazer still has all of it's original smog equipment. At 46 years old, it is nice to have it all original under the hood.

    1978 K10 auto to 4 spd manual swap

    Under that insulation is a cover which unbolts. Instead of cutting a hole, try to find the correct cover somewhere online.

    Truck runs very very rough

    I do not think that it is the fuel filter as that will just cause it to stall. It sounds like it is not running on all cylinders. Bad plug, bad ignition wire, bad distributor cap, EGR valve stuck open, possibly even a defective distributor module.

    Back window issues

    The left hand latch has a safety switch which prevents the window from being rolled up without the tailgate being closed. That applies to the dash switch and the key. As for the window not going down with the key, I have never come across that. However start with the left hand latch. I think...

    Wanting to add factory power locks

    I bought a used set of doors with power windows and locks along with all the switches and wiring to the under dash harness. I then went to the wreckers and found the under dash harness, which I pulled myself. I was lucky enough to find a cruise control unit in the same truck... All bolts...

    Original AM/FM Cassette

    The crossover is the rectangle above the stereo connector.

As my K5 originally only came with an AM radio, it only has two plugs. I...

    Original AM/FM Cassette

    Sorry, but the Pioneer is going on for repair. The circuits are just old. It is a KE-5000 and I bought it in '82 when the cassette part on my KP-8005 packed it on our our return trip from BC... That made for some quiet miles through northern Ontario. :)

    Original AM/FM Cassette

    My vintage 1980's Pioneer AM/FM Cassette has finally developed issues. As I have two GM AM/FM Cassette units sitting on my shelf, I would like to install one of those. Both units have the original correctors, with 6 inches of the original wiring harness, still attached. When I review the...

    Brakes locking up

    I have had the brake hoses rust shut and not release pressure. This happened on the disc brakes on a '69 Camaro and the rear hose on my '80 Blazer. It was challenging to diagnose but, once I replaced the hoses, everything worked perfectly.

    Stock Bolt In Exhaust

    Does anyone know of a manufacturer who still makes a stock bolt in exhaust for an '80 K5 4WD Blazer? I can find 2WD versions from Hooker and other companies and there are plenty of companies who make exhausts for headers back. I am the original owner of my '80 K5 and, other than a 4" Rough...
