Anyone know of a company that makes soft doors for a 74 k5 blazer? Something similar to what comes on jeeps? Thanks and have a good one my friends.

good luck, I have never seen any EVER. go by an upholstery shop, maybe they could make some customs, that or contact one of the places that make Jeep ones and ask them to make you a custom set for your K5.

I've never seen any, but I can tell you that the upper part of a CJ-7 door isn't too far off (not close enough to work w/out modification though, IIRC), and the door striker striker is the same (the Jeep in question is an '85, w/the strikers for the factory hard doors). My buddy had to buy the door paddles for the second hand wrangler doors he got as the strikers were different, he said the pair was around $60. My plan is to try to find a set of the 2-piece soft doors, and rework them to fit (note my door sill is move up 8" from stock, but this should still work for a stock opening, it will just be taller). I was thinking to redo the bottom frame, similar to how Spyder Customs does thier steel-skinned Jeep 1/2-doors.

nope, never seen any. Prolly be easiest to either make (or buy) some tube doors that almost fill the door opening and then cover them with something...

MOO used to sell a kit to turn 76-87 doors into half doors. I believe the kit came with cloth uppers for the doors with zippered windows similiar to some Jeeps. I didn't see the kit on their site anymore but they might be able to help you out. I know its not exactly what you asked about but you might look into it.
