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.

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.

Not sure I like the truck hood swap onto blazers, but I can see why the 2WD guys like it.

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.
