1972 Blazer build - The Sloth - Bagged and more
 
Picked up this jewel from Cali recently. Plans are to completely re-do the interior. Cram some speakers into it. Get it on the ground. Slap on some billet wheels. And repaint it as well. Of course with minor things in between as I go. I'll try my best to keep this updated as I go.
It should be going to get re-bagged in a month or so. It has bags on it, but just to lay on top of the wheels, thats not low enough for me, lol.
Any ways, on to the pics... :metal:
It came with a soft top and hard top, unsure if I wanna keep the soft top.

Had to take the top off as soon as I got it. For some reason, it was wrapped in a canvas material. I'm in the process of getting it removed and having the top restored and painted.

It had an old 10 switchbox, and replaced it with a newer smaller AVS switchbox.

Just picked up some 22's for mock up so itll get bagged accordingly. Then will order some billets shortly there-after. Didn't realize how large 22's would look on this thing, cant wait to get it on the ground to tuck!

Man sweet Blazer! from the looks of the previous truck I think you have a goood plan for the blazer? What are your plans for the suspension? Porterbuilt?

i think you should graft a bumper like the one on the green truck onto the blazer...that would definitely be different
