Anyone Bagged a 96ish blazer?? pics? opinions?

I got a 96 blazer and a 97 jimmy for parts.. I aquired both of them some how or another and its either time I do something with them or part them out and crush them..... The 96 is a nice body with decent interior. I have a 12k mile 4.3 and 50k mile transmission for it just need to be installed that I bought for them at some point.. I originally just wanted a nice suv that would be dependable, low cost and get decent milage with maybe a nice system... Now I dont really care about being practical and I'd rather bag it.... Anyone ever done one??? cutting the rear floor up is fine... doesnt bother me a bit lol... Prolly be running an 18in wheel or so. just looking for pics, opinions, and basicly a good game plan... as I don't want to get side tracked as I will just put them back into the back yard for another 4 years. I think I have enough stuff to static drop it....just dont want to do that....

The front is straight forward, it's the rear that takes some serious effort. Anyone here have pics ?

I have done a few, what specific questions do you have?

I just realized you were referring to the S10 blazer and Jimmy... I should've read more than the first couple words! I have never bagged an S10 series truck.

Is the frame staight or crooked. In 97 they made some frames straight in the rear.

OK the Blazers suck if you wanna lay out. Raise the gas tank raise rear floor, tub work, yada yada. Whats your goals? We have done a few not the easiest due to body.
