Does it run and drive good? Any major rust issues? If the answer to those questions is no I would just enjoy it as is.

Looks like a good solid truck. I would also enjoy it as is for a while.

Maybe dig up some stainless hub caps and bump up to a 15x8 steel wheel and a 31 x 10.5 tire, that works pretty well with stock suspension. Unless you have a 3.07 rear end, if so I'd stick with the tires you have. https://www.wheelvintiques.com/all-w...backspace.html

Re: Considering Redoing 69' Blazer family heirloom War Eagle

Real neat story and glad you still have it in the family. I’d keep it all original and drive back to that same spot on the Going to the Sun road and capture the same photo 50 years later. Front disc brakes might be a worthwhile upgrade. I’ve seen other 67-72 trucks with a front affixed spare.
