Nice ride .. but man, those flares just don't sit right with me .. looks too odd. Same for the tube grill.
I seem to remember seeing this truck on Ebay awhile back ... that where u got it?
Seems to be a fair price with only a small amount of rust ... at least down here in the rusty ole south.

MAC67 · 07-21-2003, 01:39 AM

hi stateamind,, yeah he just stopped the auction thisevening,, the truck was completley ground up about 10 years ago, new floors ect, and it was all done professional,, yeah i havnt decided on the flares either,, they are actually 68 vette fenders that were cut down,,the truck is in the hamptons and has been there since the redo,, i know here in the heart of illinois i could pull my money back,, just tryin to see what other folks think

MAC67 · 07-21-2003, 01:42 AM

i would actually like to take it hugger orange, white top, 69 or 70 grille, and remove the flares in place of somthin else,, or atleast a not so stand outish flare

dmurphy68 · 07-21-2003, 05:35 AM

I like it the way it is, different I think you got a good deal

JayDubBlazer · 07-21-2003, 05:43 AM

Nice anyting blazer is cool

2wdBlazer · 07-21-2003, 09:24 AM

I do not like the flares. Everything else looks cool though. I love Jacked up blazers.

**CPNE** · 07-21-2003, 09:37 AM

I think you got a great buy unless you plan on undoing all the custom work. I hope those flares "grow" on you.

I think it would have been worth a lot more (consequently having a higher re-sale value) having been kept with the stock appearance (fenders, bumpers, tailgate, mirrors, interior, etc) with the lift/drivettrain changes.

It proves my theory that if you customize then sell you:

A) Severely limit your market of potential buyers
B) You eat your shirt on re-sale value unless you find that one other person out there that loves your creation 100% "as is".

Davy · 07-21-2003, 10:10 AM

The flares are not my thing, but it sure would be fun in the mud. I'd drive it like it is.

NuBomb · 07-21-2003, 10:16 AM

Do what you want with it it's yours. I think you got a great deal as long as the rust situation is what you say. Great job!

70c10 · 07-21-2003, 12:46 PM

Man I like it with the flares, maybe because it's black, I don't know but it sure looks tuff, congrats

MAC67 · 07-21-2003, 03:23 PM

yeah i am not totally for changing it,, and i do kind like them ,, butt who knows , my mind goes 100 mph all the time, i probably will drive it for a while like it is then i might change it or sell it,, variety is the spice of life,, i never was much for those custom tube grills but i think this one looks good in it,,

MAC67 · 07-21-2003, 03:26 PM

hey jonesable72k5.. LAWRENCE , LAWENCE OF ARABIA ,, HE WAS AN ENGLISH GUY ,, HE CAME TO FIGHT THE TURKISH,, BEEP BEEP,,, hollywood nights,, great movie,,he he he

MAC67 · 07-22-2003, 12:05 AM

now to get it home ? this is going to be a daunting task i have a feeling ,,or atleast daunting on my wallet,, ha ha

SEVEND2 · 07-22-2003, 03:11 AM

I like it, dump the flares
BTW. wasn't that on E-bay a few months back, i could have sworen we had this topic on it and the flares.
I do like the bowtie on the gate

the question really is, do you love it or like it, or hmm it was just there at the time?

If you are really happy with it, then it fits you and have a blast

over all i like it.

NuBomb · 07-22-2003, 09:34 AM
