Dressed up for the 4th - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MikeS · 07-07-2006, 09:02 AM

We dressed the Blazer up and drove it in the local 4th of July parade on Tuesday. It's the typical small town parade: half the population is in it and the other half watches. Just show up, get in line, and head down the road. I drove with Mom and Dad while my wife walked with my daughter on rollerblades. The truck got some nice comments along the way.

Hope everybody had a great 4th!

Damn I love those blazers

Super sweet! Dig the bikini top, dig the color, dig the lift size. Guess you can tell I dig your K5!

Very cool

I want to drive my rig in a parade! We aren't quite a "small-town" so I'm not sure if they'll let me just show up...

That's a good looking blazer!

Sounds like the kind of town I want to retire to. And with a sweet blazer like yours also.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It doesn't usually look that clean. I spent a lot of time buffing and polishing. It's a lot of work to compound and wax these things...they're big!
