Re: Updated Pics

Thanks. Yeah,AMT did both Blazers and Jimmys,but only one or the order each year. By the '80s they came out with the Thunderbolt kit that was a Blazer monster truck. There's been a couple reissues of that,too. I built one back when they first came out and painted it like the real Blazer I had (which had measly 13/37-15 Super Swampers). Those monster Blazer kits still have the original stock axles,wheels,and maybe tires (can't remember),so I think a normal looking Blazer could be built from that kit. There's still one Blazer reissue I'd like to get. For years I thought it was a truck with the top cut off and wasn't as interested cuz it was a reissue. Some of the original kits did have a top-off version of an off road racing '72 Sierra Grande pickup.
