Its an addiction - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigbadchev72 · 11-14-2008, 10:48 PM

Just picked this up today, 67 longbox, Newer 1/2ton axles, brand new 6" lift, Almost new 36" swampers, Rally wheels with new rings and caps, New shocks, 700r4/208 All I need is a motor, and some paint.

I Got the bug again and this deal was too good to pass up, Look for the build thread soon, I just got done with my blazer now on to the next.

I need suggestions as to what color to paint it, I dont want any metallics.

thirdstreettito · 11-14-2008, 11:00 PM

Repaint it the same red and add the chrome lower trim. Nice buy btw.

bigbadchev72 · 11-14-2008, 11:05 PM

Yeah I was thinking about the red too, I am planning on flipping this, But Im scared I might end up keeping it, So I dont know if i want to paint it the same color or not since the blazer is already the same paint code as my toyota

here is a before pic of the blazer

thirdstreettito · 11-14-2008, 11:21 PM

What are the wheels in the 1st blazer pic?

OARNGESI · 11-14-2008, 11:25 PM

That blazer is really nice your truck looks like it would be pretty nice to get it running and just have fun with

PanelDeland · 11-14-2008, 11:27 PM

Black with the lower trim and chrome step/sliders and chrome 'roo bars.

bigbadchev72 · 11-14-2008, 11:28 PM

I made this a while back and thought it would be appropriate here:

Dark candy maroon

bigbadchev72 · 11-28-2008, 01:31 AM

Well got it home, that was fun, didnt turn all that well. Turns out the previous owner did some draglink adjustment

, All is well though I got a new one for it already, Just picked up a really strong 400ci from a buddy that had to sell his truck, I also picked up a brand new 4core radiator, some 3/4ton running gear and some newer flowmaster 40s for it in the deal. I will be cleaning up the motor in the next couple days and re-gasketing it and making it pretty.
Also, can I take out the 67 gauge bezel and set it up like the one in my 72? with out the choke?

On with the pics

OARNGESI · 11-28-2008, 01:55 AM

The other white blazer is looking pretty good to

bigbadchev72 · 11-28-2008, 02:04 AM

The white one is my little brothers work in progress, Just picked up the 4 headlight clip from the 84 I got all my parts off of from my buddy and we got a 6" lift to stick on it too to get it back up in the air, He has a decent 350/465/205 with 2.5" dual exaust through an X pipe and flowmasters

LuckyHenriksen · 11-28-2008, 03:31 AM

Looks good, where in Oregon are you located?

You becha! Just move the lights to the left and the wiper switch over to the other side. With the new bezel, you'll never know. I did this with my 1970, which had the choke setup.

X2 thats a nice Red.

Personally I'd paint the wheels White to add some contrast and they would match the bumper & grille

Nice truck.

bigbadchev72 · 11-28-2008, 08:10 AM

Im in Hermiston, The bumper and grille are getting changed out for chrome, wheels will be red like the body or black, I have the rally rings and caps for them

OARNGESI · 11-28-2008, 11:18 PM

So your going to put the newer front clip or just chrome trim on the grille

big_al_71 · 11-29-2008, 08:49 AM

I would paint it red to match the other truck!!!!

50MOTORHEAD · 11-29-2008, 01:09 PM

Why would ya wanna paint it at all. It looks great the way it is.You can go wheelin in her and don't have to worry about scratchin the paint.Take that tool box off and beat the doors off of it !!!That way ya can have fun with it instead of havin ta worry about it all the time.Real wheelers aren't supposed to be pretty,,,unless they are for Show Only.-KB

bigbadchev72 · 11-29-2008, 04:58 PM

Plan is to make a pretty street queen and re-sell it eventually, I am painting it the same red as my blazer and am just going to add the chrome trim pieces to the grille, I love the 67 front ends, Gonna get a chrome bumper and headlight buckets too.

Chevymann1968 · 11-29-2008, 05:30 PM

I say a flat orange and black wheels for the truck !!!! Nice blazer what color red is that???

bigbadchev72 · 11-29-2008, 05:54 PM

05 toyota bright red

Chevymann1968 · 11-29-2008, 06:00 PM

Thanks !!!

superchevy · 11-29-2008, 08:39 PM

LOL! That draglink "mod" reminds me of the time my buddy snapped the steering arm on his '71 K20...in the middle of a stream...water about 6" below the arm. We drove my truck the 30 miles back to his shop...grabbed a piece of 1/2" steel plate...hot-wrenched and twisted a rough "arm" out of it...drilled new holes...drove the 30 miles back, and damned if it didn't work! LOL. Drove it back home at about 25 mph...wouldn't turn left hardly at all, but we made it!

Jtrux · 11-29-2008, 08:47 PM

I really like 67's. That truck should clean up well.
