The 1974 K5 was the best one in my opinion.

Full convertable top…’73-‘75….

[@trentdawg2832]

But yeah u cannot go wrong with a ‘74…….i have a ‘73 c10 shortbed fleetside that has a vortech centrifugal supercharged LS swap in it and a ‘74 nova that has a LSA supercharged LS in it as well, both are a blast to drive!!!! Id love to get one of the 6.2 diesel blazers/suburbans and do a LS swap on it as well, that is if i cannot get my hands on the more diserable 73-75

[@myles2go.]

I cant disagree with the full tops being pretty cool

[@myles2go.]

@ I would have to agree with you on the LS motors. they are great for swaps! Definitely better than a 6.2

Nice job

[@myles2go.]

thanks! i appreciate the comment! they all help the channel

[@trentdawg2832]

Thats definitely a diamond in the rough, the fact that it only has that tiny dent behind the back tire is wild!!!

[@myles2go.]

The property we bought it from was loaded with cool old vehicles.

@@myles2go. yeah sometimes people like to hoard and stash cool shit!!

Love your hat

[@myles2go.]

thanks!

i would say a diamond in the rough, better then last few I got.

A NV4500 would be a better manual transmission in my opinion if that’s going to be a daily driver as those SM465 always seemed to be way low geared for the way I used on.

[@myles2go.]

i agree, especially with a 6.2 diesel. I did a nv4500 swap in my other K5 and love it. the videos are posted on the channel if you want to check them out!

[@trentdawg2832]

Had an ‘81 k10 suburban 25 years ago…it was a tailgate burb with the 350/th350 combo and that thing was un-killable….literally , till sum piece of crap stole it!!!

[@myles2go.]

that's a shame! these old trucks are so easy to steal, unfortunately.

[@josemendez-wu1nj]

Those are very rare Brother in that condition running alone run for good money believe me you will not find another one for sale anywhere

[@myles2go.]

I agree. I was able to get two good running and driving diesel K5's from the same guy. The other one i got from him was the white one that i painted blue on my channel

There was nothing good about a 6.2 lol unless you don't have a 6.5 to use as a boat anchor.

[@myles2go.]

lol, they certainly have some serious design flaws.
