    My 1-Ton restomod m1009 thread

    April 2019 Finished all the sanding and prep work. I also trimmed the fenders for the tires. Time to build a paint booth on the cheap. I bought a 16x350' roll of overspray plastic and simply draped it over the garage door rails. I added string to to make about 12x24 room. I added some box fans...

    My 1-Ton restomod m1009 thread

    To be honest, I'm not sure. On my last Blazer I just did a 14bff. This one looks totally different, I know I've narrowed it down to a Dana 70. But I'm not sure from what. Here are pictures of the front and rear.

    January 2019 I removed all the glass, the interior and the topper.

The batteries were relocated inside behind the pass seat. ?? The paint looks like crap, probably someone just...

    My 1-Ton restomod m1009 thread

    I've had 3 previous k5s, including a m1009, all sold almost a decade ago when we started a family. Ive had an itch to pick up another one so after a few months searching, I found a 1986 up northeast. It was spent nearly all its life in the california desert with the exception of the past year in...
