Looks sweet. I've seen that roll bar configuration before where the seats are mounted to it.

Thanks. Ya it's about the safest way to mount them. Just waiting on tab for the front seats then have to bend up the bars for the rear seats.

Re: Sharing some pics of my one ton blazer build

Looks great, very nice build, but how did you get your distributor in the front of your motor?

Re: Sharing some pics of my one ton blazer build

Haha. Thanks guys. I bought it from a guy in Montana who built it and blew up the motor not long after he got it togeather so he threw in the towel on it. So I just had to throw an engine in it. Changed a few things like painting the lower portion body color (was black before. Added deaver springs and prp seats.

Totally missed the Grinch fender emblem the first time. I knew I recognized that rig.

It's cool to see the Grinch still kickin'. Dennis put a lot of work into her. Glad she went to a good new owner.

Re: Sharing some pics of my one ton blazer build

Man, I love the bright green. I think the primary colors look awesome on these trucks.

Are the hand holds on the cage "A" pillar bolt-on? If so, do you know the manufacturer? I may need a set for the back seaters on my project.

Thanks

Re: Sharing some pics of my one ton blazer build

Awesome truck. Grinch works well for it. Lol. I had a guy in the army with me from redding. Evenson I believe his name was. Never knew his first name though. I think the black bumpers look good. I don't like chrome look myself. Mine has been dechromed.

Sweet, you'll love the Deavers. I have them on the back of my Blazer with some nice shocks and it rides super smooth.
