Be sure to have a list together and the next time I'm in the area, we will try to cross off a few things.

Can I see a side shot of your truck, I bought the same wheel covers you have and I just want to see them on another blazer.

Here is the pic you wanted. The wheels are plain jane original steelies 15 X 7, but I need ones with holes in the front for the 4WD. May have to cut my own. Thanks for kind words!

I got lucky and found these NOS ones for sale here on the parts board. Thanks for sharing the pic, I can't wait to see what mine looks like with the same wheels.

That's beautiful! The factory greens have been growing on me a lot lately.

In-case your debating about putting the lettering on the tailgate like I was, here's what it looks like with black letters.

Cool to see another green one being built.
