I was referred to GMSB by SilverscottK10 and glad that he did. My project is a 74 K5 that I have mad a 2WD. I picked it up the first of February and took it to school where I teach automotive (free labor). I will start a thread in the build section and let you know what has been done and what my goals are.
Thanks for letting me join.
Before and Now.

That would explain it, I've only seen a hand full of the year, and they had solid glass. Hang on to those. My 2wd Blazer is torn completely apart.

Howdy! Pretty sure those windows are really old aftermarket sliders, likely installed when the truck was still new or nearly new.

Old77, thank you. I'm excited about it. Bucket, you may be right, I know very little about what options came on the K5's.
