Nah, I enjoy seeing that one again, still being used just like it was built. Especially since it appears to be a low-option original. Cool truck.

Completely stock 1983 Silverado diesel I inherited from my 97yr old grandfather. On its way from California to New Mexico. Has 106k, and always has been garage kept. Has a few things to take care of. Goal will be to have a 22mpg vehicle for long road trips.

Beautiful truck! It probably meets your goal just as it sits.

Another impressive one I got near Spruce Knob, WV on a camping trip back in October.

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

lovin all the 'burbs i have wanted a lowered square 2wd 1/2 ton almost as long as i've wanted a square short bed. i almost got a 'burb 2 years ago (i have a rather sizable fam lol) but the wife talked me into gettin a mini van (better mpg) so i settled on a really solid 95 safari. i dont hate it but it could use some work and def lackin that "cool" factor so rather than fixin the van im thinkin of findin a decent square 'burb to sorta match my 84 sb. my two primary concerns are the mpg,and how much work is involved in takin the rear seats out "if" i need to. do they just bolt in? as for the mpg issue, i do plan to have headers & duels and somethin with f.e. would be nice. any chance some of u 'burb guys can give me some real mpg figures?

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Here's my $500 bucket...



...that earned a special place in my heart and became the Convertiburb:









I was going to thrash it for a summer, take the running gear, then scrap the rest, but the thing is just so much fun! So instead, I'm working on making it a better driver before summer, installing a stereo, and finishing the exhaust.

Hey Scary Gary....did you lower the front any more yet? Interested to see how it ends up and how you like it as I have a GMC version that I will be lowering soon. I just can't figure out if a flip in the back will be too low.

Here's a current pic with 31" tall tires. I shipped this up from Georgia about a month ago. Yes, the CL add was a topic of a post a while back. 2wd's are very rare up here.

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Willowrun - I was watching that one too! Price was right, and it sure is solid.
But to answer your question.. I haven't gotten a chance to bring the front down. I put the Belltech Nitro 2 drop shocks and some lowered coils, but it actually looks like it brought it up about .25" from where it was with my stock spring with the flat coil cut. By now, I'm used to it and I kinda dig the "bulldog" look. Im thinking I will leave it til I take everything apart and bag it. Which probably isn't anytime soon.
I would say do the flip. Never too low

Here's a pic of mine from the other day..

Thanks for the info/advice. One more thing if you don't mind, do you have 2 1/2" or 3" drop spindles?
Thanks!
