Again, beautiful Blazer. I just like to over-analyze the "survivor" trucks that pop up every now and then while secretly wishing they were mine!
You got a good eye man. I thought the tailgate band was kinda weird too. You don't think 7 years under a carport would do that?

I wish it was mine too. I love this thing. It truly looks like a survivor. Not many of them left anymore. You sure don't see rust free Blazers very often.
