That turned out great. I wish that I would have caught you before you choose the color. Are those original seats or something else?
is the blue one going to be for sale?

[twp1]

The interior came from TMI Products! This one will have a 6.0 HO w/ 4l60E and going to powder coat most everything with TMI interior and vintage air and 2-tone red and grey or Black and silver!! Yes i will probaly sell when finished not sure!!! They are getting harder to find!!!!

Looks good , Is that Competition Red paint? you gave us some great ideas. we are Frame off now and building an LS6. Just looking for 3/4 ton running gears we don't think 600hp will keep those 10 bolt axles under it when we are done.

Hugger Orange!!!

Getting closer to taking back to body shop to put body on!!! Tomorrow going to clean and install old emergency cables and i think i am at a stand still until body is back on!!! Should have pic's of firewall and jams Monday!!!

I need to ship mine down to your body guy to give mine a fresh coat!!!

I just bought a 72 Jimmy on Nov 1st, so I am just beginning my journey with this style truck, but holy cow that orange one is awesome. That is a beautiful blazer. Looking forward to see this new one you have turns out.

[twp1]

I know this is not a for sale posting! but I do have some of the parts I am not going to be using when I put back together if anyone is interested? Let me know but I will be posting more pictures of the build in the next 2-3 weeks. Spare tire holder, original speaker and mount, cross member, all heating and cooling, console.

Thanks

I second the airbag helper spring upper bracket...

[twp1]

Makes Sense! I just had them on the front is what was confusing me.

Thanks

have u seen the pacific fab. cross member for the LS swap just wondering what you thought of that if u have seen it.

[twp1]

i used it on my other blazer and liked it but went with Dirty dingo this time.

[1rippen6]

If I had to guess I would say air bag bracket.
