87, 4 banger, 4 speed, no PS, no PB. Now is this going to stay as a trash truck, or is going to be my cool trash truck? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... What do you all think?

Bus Ted Knuckle · 08-28-2010, 11:52 AM

I like it! My favorite vehicle of all time was a 91 4cyl 5sp, no ac, ps, etc.

I like them simple.

lvschevytrucks · 08-28-2010, 02:43 PM

Not bad!!! can have fun with that and not worry about scratching it

tvblazer78 · 08-29-2010, 04:39 PM

Thanks! Did a little work on it this weekend and now I need to find some springs!

tvblazer78 · 09-02-2010, 07:56 AM

Well last night I got the welder out and fixed all the holes on top of the bed and fender holes. I think the bed had something like 10 holes on each side that I had to weld up. Why do you have to do that?

Back at it tonight..

tvblazer78 · 09-02-2010, 07:58 AM

Here is a pic of one fender, one before the grinder and after..lol!

tvblazer78 · 09-08-2010, 01:00 PM

Well, I got it sitting lower then it was. I need to add 2" blocks out back to get it to sit right. But its on its way to look good as I take my trash. lol!

narx66gmc · 09-17-2010, 12:58 AM

tvblazer78 · 09-17-2010, 08:55 AM

Thanks guys..

I drove it into work today, ya know friday is trash day. lol! Here is a new pic, it sits good now and did a lot of body work on it as well. Need to do a little more then put some paint on it!

72BlckButy · 09-17-2010, 09:01 AM

Lookin' good Travis!

Chevy350V8 · 09-17-2010, 05:49 PM

Yeah, looks nice

tvblazer78 · 09-20-2010, 07:54 AM

Thanks guys.. I think this winter I may build a dash or do somthing crazy with the inside if I get some free time..

tvblazer78 · 10-13-2010, 03:34 PM

Did a little work on the truck last night, I found a new fender and started welding it up. Now that looks better.

I am also working on the front bumper, cutting it up a little and making it fit close to the body. And I had a set of 02 vette seats that I made work in the truck. I will get pics of that very soon..

tvblazer78 · 10-19-2010, 01:43 PM

Pics of my new seats, I also picked up an 87 vette Steering wheel, not on in this pic. And I was thinking pull the old wheel off and put the new one on, No! it took cutting and drilling to make it work. So GM did not make all the wheels just a like, the spline was the only thing that did work right. But its one now and looks sweet...

Pop's C-10 · 10-19-2010, 02:39 PM

nice truck....

67ChevyRedneck · 10-19-2010, 09:16 PM

Sweet. My dad had a two tone red and white 91 2.5L/5spd. I loved driving that truck.

tvblazer78 · 10-20-2010, 08:03 AM

Thanks guys, ya it’s a different fun to drive then my blazer, I guess I don’t care about the truck as much and just drive the hell out of it. I don’t want to make it that nice so I don’t loose that feeling. But a V8 with a 5 speed or 6 speed will come soon…

And one pic of the vette logo in the grill, looks kinda cool I must say..

tvblazer78 · 01-10-2011, 10:05 PM
