OK, finally got it to a point where it is worth taking a picture.
1982 K5 2wd Blazer ('85-87 grill)
T350
350 crate w/around 100,000 miles (was in my '85 K5 I bought as an insurance total, then in my '79 Suburban, now here!)
I bought the rims already powdercoated with newer trim rings and new centers, I was told the rims were OEM new then PC'ed and driven for a summer then stored for two years before I bought them.
255 60 15 rears, 235 60 15 fronts - when I have a few extra $ I'll put the 255's on the front and buy new 275 60 15's for the rear. Way too much space around the front tires!
Looks decent in the picture which doesn't show how bad the rust is, or how crappy the paint is. It works pretty good for a driver though.
My friend has a '89-91 core support and grill - all parts except the trim that goes around the lights. I might do the conversion in the future after I get a few other issues worked out.
Edit: I have a nicer front bumper and a near perfect air-dam I need to put on. The bumper is striaght but is pretty tarnished, the other one isn't much better, but it is much brighter.
