here are a few shots of 1 of about 87 projects i have goin on.

its a 78 K5 blazer that i managed to pick up for "free" with no motor/trans/t-case.... but an almost perfect rust free body.

i added a bunch of parts i had layin around to make it 2wd, threw in a TPI 350 i had sittin under the bench and a TH350. inside is rino lined in a similar color to what the int will be, been workin on this "after work" for the last couple months.

this will have shiny paint AND 20" wheels...so im officially a "poser" now

Sweet. I like the color of the engine...is that what you are going with on the body? What wheels are on it?..they look awesome.

70's Blazers are BADASS! Love the removable top!!! This makes me want to buy one. "Honey, look what followed me home from the swap meet, can we keep him?" Yeeeaaah right!

I'll give you 5 bucks for it since you got it for free. Great project, I am a huge fan of this vintage of Chevy (truck and blazer and suburban)

yes, the whole thing will be the green, its a bench mix bc/cc to come close to hok lime gold kandy over planet green...but with it being a regular bc/cc, its easy to fix(it is gonna be a driver afterall)

the wheels are 20x8.5 eagle 025's in chrome, they were "cheap" and easy to keep clean...untill the chrome starts falling off...then i will find something else cheap.

Reminds me of my 72 truck from years gone by.

Are you going to run a soft top or put the other back on?

i plan on running the hard top, or none at all when its nice out.
