I like it that way. Classic

It wheel's like a beast too. I'm totally loving the detroit Tru-trac up front.

I'm glad to see your Blazer out hangin' with "the boys" once again. I'm a big Tru-Trac fan, too. Been around since before all these other traction devices and still better

Underneath is a Dodge Dana 60 front axle and GM 14 Bolt full-floating axle in the rear, both with ARB air lockers and hydroboost powered disc brakes. Under the hood sits a built, fuel injected 400 SBC mated to an SM465/NP205 combo. A Gear Vendors overdrive hangs off the back of the NP205.
The camper sleeps three easily on the cab-over bed and couch that folds out into a bed. Its got a propane furnace, two burner propane stove, 10 gallon water tank, sink and faucet, and I replaced the old three-way frig with an ARB AC/DC frig/freezer. It has power hook-up for 110V service, and outlets inside to plug appliances into. I also installed a 5000 BTU window air conditioning unit in the rear facing window that I power with a 2000 watt generator. I can, and have spent weeks living out of the Blazer with my wife and 5-year old son. Its redneck, but I wouldn't do it any other way.

It's what's inside that counts and yours has it. When I had three K/20s (well, one K2500) the plan was for the GMC to be the camper hauler. I wanted to find a Four Wheel Camper for it, but those don't exist back East. I want to go get one. That is the reason I went ahead and parted out my C/20 camper truck. It was where it was "needing" and my heart was more into an off road capable rig I could haul kayaks up to on and still tow.

Very very nice one! When I lived near Flagstaff I bought up a few trucks. I had my nose in the Truck Trader every week. Then ended up coming back East, but thought I'd be back. I left a few trucks with a friend and they ended up stranded there since I didn't move back. In '89 I took my family on a SW travel vacation in the '71 Custom Camper. I had a couple trucks lined up to sell and brought the Blazer back, with my wife driving the camper truck. What an epic trip for the kids (and me) to always remember.
