75 Jimmy I've owned for 16 years now. Haven't put the top on for years.

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

So I went up to the farm to see if I could get some nice pics that justified the truck for what it really is.

Not as bad as I have made it out.

I do not think this truck has ever been in an accident and all the panels seem to be straighter than one could expect from a 40year old.

I had removed the license plate whe. I started to look at getting the Towbar made up.

It was held in place by two rusty panel screws, one broke off in the backing plate, the other came out, so I just taped it in the rear window.

From the farm I headed toward Rochester......

Of course stopping in for some fuel.

Then a drive down the bypass motorway to get a good feel for the handling.

It weaved lightly,and drew to the right all the time.

Confrontation?

Her is a Pic of my 1978 I just pick up from Victoria B.C. This was a one owner truck ,who I purchased it from. The paint is 20 yrs old looks , and only one very small chip on the passenger door. I plan to do an 6.0l LS swap in the spring as I have the donor vehicle already in the driveway. It was a 4x4 and converted to 2wd .The chase is ALL BRAND NEW underneath. The underside is as clean as the top.

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

Stripes look great Grizz!

Ralph, nice find...looks to have later model Suburban interior.

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

He installed a fixed suburban seat frame on the passenger side with no access to the rear seat so I made a flip and lock mount it the seat frame this weekend. Just need to pull everything back out and paint the tan interior color and reinstall .Works great.

can someone help me out please? anyone own a 1979-1980 suburban (cali
approved not federal) with factory 454 that still has the emission sticker diagram? I really need a picture of it to follow it and put the 454 back to original to pass smog in cali. I was using a 350 1980 emission sticker to get an idea but it is not accurate for me to follow that. thank you!

Yes, it's been stashed away in a barn for 4 or 5 years though. Finally got room in the lineup!
