Re: Saw this one today
With that said, I hope it's not a board member. Not cool to bash someone else's ride.

Re: Saw this one today
It's not the style that I would personally choose, but I think it's cool any time I see one of our trucks still on the road, especially a Blazer. That's I why I posted it in the first place.
Still, I think I can see what the owner is going for. It looks to me like a panel truck type of setup. |

Panel blazer. Doesn't look too bad but not my style either. Except the primer gray. Lol. All my vehicles are primer gray while getting restored.

Re: Saw this one today
Your 100% right....it was a lame joke, and i hate to see blazers that lose there perfect look, Sometimes i forget that everyone has there own style and taste. If it was a board members and he reads this I apologize

Re: Saw this one today
Odd to see no windows. No top ever came that way correct?
Front end is a swap also correct?

Re: Saw this one today
I don't know. I think I like it. If you blank the back window, some shag carpet all over the interior. mood lighting. it would be period correct.

Re: Saw this one today
I think if the area where the windows were weren't flat but had some lines it would look pretty good. I'm not one for too many mods but a subtle change here and there can look good as long as it's tasteful. I know many people like the 67-68 front end but I personally think the 69-72 front end is a better look. More beefy. I think the older looks a little more aerodynamic though.

Re: Saw this one today
Most of the time you'll want the top off anyway.

Re: Saw this one today
Not sure I like the truck hood swap onto blazers, but I can see why the 2WD guys like it.

Re: Saw this one today
That's the one.
I know I've seen a gorgeous one in American Fork by the temple. It was a while ago, but I've got pictures of that one somewhere too. |
