Updated Pics of My Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blazer Gal · 07-06-2004, 10:04 PM

Got a couple new pics of my truck last weekend. With some help from Huck and lots of time and patience from my honey (Jamie72) we finally got the doors fitting decent on the purple beast. Motor runs strong and got to drive it around the yard. We was hoping to have it ready to go to the Super Chevy Show but that ain't happenin'...LOL. You just gotta love these trucks!

Just a tad bit taller than Jamie's blazer...

gettin there...

oohh so that's where you put the gas in it...

Will post more pics after the super chevy show this weekend. Have fun everyone and have a safe trip.
BTW... if anyone needs any help while passing thru Southeastern Indiana on there way to the show please give us a call and we will try and help you out. 812-839-3358

looking good! love the color

oh, and the gas filler is off the hook

Blazer Gal · 07-06-2004, 10:17 PM

Thanks, I love the color too.. I think I spent longer deciding what color to paint it than anything else we have done too it. I didn't want to paint it some color that everyone else has, I wanted it a bit different, but it has been a pain to shoot the metallic paint.

ronh72c10 · 07-06-2004, 11:25 PM

Very cool color, Vickie has changed her mind about her truck and wants to paint it blue rather than yellow, I'll have to show her your truck. Maybe I can convince her that dark purple works well on these trucks.

krue · 07-07-2004, 12:01 AM

That's a sharp truck! How much lift ya got on it?

72gord · 07-07-2004, 08:34 AM

Sharp truck!! Might need a short step ladder to get in though...lol You going with a 71-72 grill or 69-70 style? Gord

juju808 · 07-07-2004, 09:11 AM

nice looking truck... just think of all the fun things you will have had time to do with it by the time next years super chevy show rolls around! :p

Blazer Gal · 07-07-2004, 08:20 PM

Ron... Purple stands out better in the snow...LOL. Good luck on your projects!

krue.. just 8 inches, all suspension

gord...not too worried about needing a step ladder to get in it... more worried about fallin out of it. Putting the 72 grill in it.

juju..yeah fun things... like get the other fender put on and lined up, getting the hood to fit just right...running over a few ricers...but maybe we can get it together for the big 4 wheel drive jamboree that indy has in the fall!!!

Does your husband have some Freudian issues to work through.....allowing you to have a bigger truck than him

*chevytruckfan* · 07-08-2004, 02:06 PM

Where in Indiana are you? I live in FL now but grew up in Evansville, which is also where my 47 panel truck resides. I will be coming back to vist 1st week of Aug for the Street Rod nationals in Louisville otherwise I would be going to the Indy show.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-08-2004, 02:52 PM

That is really looking great. Can you do me a favor and measure from the ground to the top of the rocker line where the door opening is.

HIGH724X4 · 07-08-2004, 03:45 PM

Truck is Looking Good, Ready to sell it back to me yet LOL!!!!!!
just kidding, Been awhile since I have posted here, and this was the first post I saw, keep up the good work and keep me posted upon the finishing, I would like to take a ride in it..
Thanks Kevin

I would tend to think Jamie72 dosen't have any Freudian issues.My wifes Blazer is on 35's and my suburban that I normally drive is lowered 4/6.

Blazer Gal,the truck is looking good!

**jamie72** · 07-08-2004, 06:16 PM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-08-2004, 09:31 PM

That is a sweet looking truck fo sure can't wait to see it finished..

TIMSPEED · 07-09-2004, 03:24 AM

What color blue is that? Looks almost like GM's Arrival Blue.

HIGH724X4 · 07-09-2004, 10:11 AM

You definitly have to been done by the time the 4x4 Jamboree comes to town in Sept. And You need to take it I will be there!!!!!

Kevin

Blue85 · 07-09-2004, 09:10 PM

Is there a kit you can buy for thst side marker gas filler, or is it something you designed?

Blazer Gal · 07-11-2004, 05:21 PM

We live near Madison. About an hour north of Louisville Kentucky.

Blazer Gal · 07-11-2004, 05:28 PM

Yukon Jack: will try and get that measurement for you.

Kevin...not ready yet to sell it back to ya..lol. I can't wait to take a ride in it either...drivin around the yard in half a truck aint as much fun as cruisin town on Saturday night.

Thanks Chevelle Chick!

Thanks also to smokekiki & FrenchBlue72!

Timspeed.. I like to call it purple...don't listen to Jamie "it's blue"..lol

Blue85.. the side marker light filler is not available as a kit as far as I know, Jamie has had to fabricate and modify different things to make it work, the first truck I remember seeing with it was TennMan's truck and I think if you do a search on the board there are instructions on how to do the side marker light filler.

Blazer Gal · 07-15-2004, 11:08 PM

Latest pic of the Beast... isn't it lovely...

Huck · 07-16-2004, 07:34 AM

the answer is "Perrywinkle"! hehehehe

GMan69 · 07-16-2004, 09:41 PM

Lookin' real good. Last pic really shows the purple color. Nice work.

Just a little humor. I'd love to have a wife who wanted a big truck. I'd even consider putting my blazer on hold to build her one. Post more pics when you get 'em.
