Here it is my blazer. It's an '85 the year I was born so it is out of pure nostalgia why I keep it. (and spend more on fixing it up than if I just bought another one)

Still runs great 2.8, 4x4, automatic, and everything works right down to the A/C. Thinking of cutting the rear roof off of it along the rear windows and putting a truck topper with the front window cut out on it to give it the K5 blazer open air feel for the summer but that's about it for any really big plans. It may look clean but off road with it.

I finally got time to do something on the blazer so here's a few low dollor custom touches for you to drool over. It's amazing what some spray paint, creativity, and talent can do when combined. Check back for more updates as I am getting this project started and am on a roll with it so far I have:

Custom painted the taillights, (I could go for euros but I'd be too much like everyone else)

added a bravada grill

It's like looking in the mirror but not.... That's my '94 Bravada in the background. Check out my dual exhaust on the blazer. Also unseen it has Rancho RS-5000 shocks all the way around, cherry bombs, and soon as I get the lift plates for the front it will have a 2 inch lift.

 As Far as the inside goes I'm kickin' it oldschool, simulated brushed alluminum, cassette player, and worn cloth seats. Only luxury here is power locks and windows.

 

4/15/09 NEW PICS!!!

INSIDE UPDATE: leather seats installed in front changed the hinges on both so they tilt forward now (another wonderfull thing about going from 4 door to 2 door),

I have the same truck except I have an 87. Im in the process of get a dent and the bumpers switched out bc of an accident. My headliner is still in tacked too. That is very rare. All I have done was put a system in it and a smaill console dvd system nothing fancy. Where did u get the sunvisor console? what u use to mount it. I like that idea.

Frame swap is way more work than i want to go through. besides what good is dropping a 4x4 defeats it's purpose, it'd be cheaper just to buy a 2wd and drop it and lift the 4x4.
