Damn, you are going to make Ocbaud jealous with those giant pics!!
  Great looking Blazer...very nice! Why does it have a 79/80 hood on it?

Scoti, no...the ridge along the front leading edge of the hood...unique to 79/80 only.

I fixed the pics...hope that's better, still getting used to the new camera and didn't realize it was set on "large".  Thanks guys....I'll try to get some pics this weekend of the '79 that I'm restoring. Last edited by Crush; 03-31-2004 at 12:41 AM. |

I didn't either at first, but I did some snooping and found out. Does the hood on your 79 have it too?
I would bet the hood on the Blazer was replaced at one point it time...perhaps due to the ever so popular kinking problem.

Thanks guys.
bigblock73 - yes the '79 has the same hood. About 98% sure that this is the original hood. The original paint code on this blazer is 43 (light green) and the underside of the hood is still that same color. This color was no longer available in 79/80. |

That's a sweet looking Blazer! I REALLY mean no offence to you, so please don't take it that way, but DAMN, I hate seeing a straight, clean older model slammed with big wheels on them. It's a "to each his own" kinda thing, so don't feel like I'm telling you how to style your ride, I'm just commenting. It's just that there's so few examples of our trucks left, that are as pretty and relatively original as that one. I guess it's just because I love to see them clean and stock. If it's any consolation, 99% of the rest of the board will likely tell me to shut my pie hole and mind my own business
. That is a damn pretty truck, though. You must be proud of it.

Crush, I think it looks sweet regardless of what ever hood is on it. I resized your pics and cropped them a bit if you want me to post them for ya....
BTW- Is it just the angle, or does it sit a bit higher in the front?

I'm gonna start the body work in the next month or so and will actually be changing the color again. Currently it has tan metal interior with brown carpet and front seats. The original owner gave me the rear seat that was still the avocado green that the interior USED to be......All of the interior is currently being changed to black. The trim is actually in pretty bad shape so it probably won't make it back on. Looking for some opinions on exterior colors though.... |

Yeah, the front does sit higher.....I put on a 5/5 drop and the only thing I can figure is that the old springs are sagging causing it to sit that way.

Since you are having so much fun with the camera....you probably don't have time for the Blazer....
I've been searching for one....just send her to me....

Thanks guys....she's starting to get to where I want her.
N2TRUX - If you could post the resize/cropped pics I'd appreciate it. BTW....I think a friend of mine may have emailed you with a transmission question (4l85e). He's tring to find something to put behind the LS1 he just installed in his Sierra. |

Wow! I like that a lot. If I could have that and N2TRUX's truck, that would be all I'd need...
 I usually post pics at 640X480. It is the next standard size down from what you posted yours in. I always take pics at the largest size my camera will use (you can size them down if you need to, but you can't effectively make them bigger later...), then resize them with Irfanview from www.irfanview.com. It will resize photos as a batch so that you don't have to do them one at a time, and it is free. Slonaker |

Yep...that's him. He's thickheaded at times. I've told him that the 4l60e, if built right, should do what he needs but he's got it in his brain that he needs "bulletproof".
Thanks for the pics...I'll update the thread accordingly. EDIT: I tried the software that Sloniker suggested.....  Thanks for the pics though N2TRUX. Last edited by Crush; 03-31-2004 at 12:12 PM. |

Crush, don't use the pics I posted. They suck. Either try resizing, or wait till I can play with them.
I just posted on his thread at FSC as we speak. I'll beat him up on the 4L60E vs 4L80E for a while :p Edit- Yes that's much better. I'll delete mine now... |
