How would you go about the coilover suspension? Is there a kit or do you have to figure that out for yourself?
I'm day dreaming but my buddy is doing something super crazy with a 66 Suburban that he wants to display at sema next year. I'm itching doing something less extreme than what he is doing but I'm definitely having the itch....
Here is a sneak peek of what he is building... 502 cu crate engine. Air bags, 4 link, fox racing shocks, hydraulic tilt forward hood, full cross bar chassis reinforcements. I think he has 40" tires on right now. Its a beast!

When you get into something like this, or the Blazer you're talking about.....Saving money cannot be an issue.
Would be cool, but it's definitely not going to be cheap.
I've completely rebuilt a handful of cars/trucks, and although I definitely don't know everything, I do know that it costs a "ton" of money to do a full restoration on them. Even doing most things myself, it still costs a bunch of money!
