Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
A year ago this week. Excuse the hard edits...cut out my 4 year old (at the time) jumping around and re-christening the truck "StarGlow"...also sorry for the multiple deletions of this post. The embed was a challenge for some reason. |

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Gives me hope that someday mine will be paroled from its current 3 year-to-life sentence in restoration prison. Please get another one, we need some more action on the Blazer/Jimmy build forum.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Beautiful Blazer! I am absolutely in love with the original build. I am restoring a 70 K-10 all original and the day I'm done with it in the next few months I am going Blazer shopping.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
Just finished the thread, one of the best I have read anywhere. It was like reading a good story - which is what it really is right? As I was reading I was struck with this negative kind of feeling quite a few times. It was sort of wishing, disappointed, guilty feeling. Hard to describe, but it comes from the fact that my truck is nowhere near that nice and I know it never will be. Not jealousy. Like "if you worked a little harder you could......."
But then I saw your comment about it not being fair to wives, kids, etc. That hits home. You are absolutely right. These crazy kind of clean, perfect cars are OUR passion. "Our" being the owners of such things. WE are the ones who put all of the time, money, care worrying, research into them. Because it is OUR passion. Expecting your family members to have the same protective sense for the car can suck all of the joy out of owing it and using it with your family. You're stressed, possibly angry. They're nervous and trying not to do anything. I can see all of these things potentially happening. So I feel good about owning something that I am not super anal about. I took the family (wife and 2 year old daughter) out this past weekend for the second time in my truck. I let my daughter stand on the front seat. I let her try to find the ignition hole with the key. And it feels good to be in something fun where nobody is super paranoid about it. I had not thought about that or how important it is. I already have another vehicle that no one is allowed to look at. (Not literally) So is my truck perfect? Nope. And I don't want it to be!! But it sure was fun watching you make yours so. |

You had to know that was coming! It's still a fine Blazer!

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
I agree, all that hard work and expense, and searching, just to be thrown aside like a dirty dish clothe. Sad, but you did your part, shame everyone doesn't like original

Ouch, that's like spray-painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa or knocking the headdress off of King Tut's burial mask. This is disrespectful of fine craftsmanship as well as crazy economically. That shop rightfully paid top dollar for your truck because it was what it was.
At least you have my pallid imitation of your truck as a memento and tribute. Now I will brace myself for the tiresome "it's his truck and he can do anything he wants with it" stuff. No, sometimes you can't and shouldn't. |
Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off
On a side note;
I put a 5.3 in my Blazer, but I'm reluctant to call it an "LS" swap because technically it's not an LS engine, it's a Vortec LM7 to be exact. Is calling all Gen3 engines "LS" acceptable? Just wondering !! |
