Maybe try some of the smaller 2.2 tires on it like HPI geolandars or Losi smashers.

Not too bad, would look better if it didn't have the mad cowl disease.

Tammies hobbies has Pede trannies for $50 with bearings I think.

That actually looks real close to the '78 K5 I had. 44" tires and really short wheel bases suck when not done right, but I was 19 years old and thought it was the s**t. I was constantly chucking driveshafts, I recall doing it twice in one day(kept a spare in the truck).

add about 3/4 of an inch to the wheelbase and it will be perfect

That body is perfectly proportioned for a K5 Blazer. It would be just right on a Tamiya Pajero Chassis. I just got finished shortening a clod body to fit my touareg chassis. Perfect dimensions for project shortbox.

If either of you ever want to sell your K5's let me know.
