After I finish my interior and the engine compartment for now on my truck, I wanted to change a few things on the outside, but I don't know if they will look right,
4x4 front air dam, 89-91 blazer or jimmy grille stock or custom, rear sport bumper, dark tint police friendly and for wheels 18" coy c-5s or around the same price range

dang i thought i was bad... dude, your truck is sick how she sits! just tint her back w/ 30% all around... and maybe, and i mean maybe 20" coys. but the look you got going goes together real nice. after the interiors done you got a DD show truck. so i vote leave it and find another to build... (2wd k5)LOL

thanks guy, I" ll leave it alone it's give's it a kinda pro street look, the interior really help my truck look a lot better, if I had place to keep it I could of had a 78 k5 2wd for free with a title, it was at my grandpa's place, but he had to move so blazer went to crusher, it had a little rust and needed doors, fenders, hood, and tail gate, but A few month's later my neighbor found a add on craigslist that a guy was giving away good parts, and Could of had good fenders and doors for free

I'd add a 2wd front air dam to your truck. You can get a 4wd front air dam with out tow hook holes, but I think they look a little funny on lowered trucks.

I love tint, on any/every vehicle. Here's what 35% looks like, which is the legal limit here for the side windows. It makes quite a difference in how hot the interior gets. It also saves your neck and left arm from getting sunburned. Oh and It looks cool.

You don't want a 4X4 air dam. I tried one on my lowered truck. The air drag is significant on the highway!! I switched back to a 4X2 air dam. I noticed the difference right away. I guess these truck need air to go underneath them and not all the way around.

I'll think I'll go with the 2wd one with the 4wd drive air dam there would also be less than 2" of gap to the road
