Thumbs up Canton, Georgia 10/16/2010 - nice looking black/red - blazer/jimmy

Howdy.

This was the first thing I saw when I got out of my truck today at a big cruise in.

To my rather untrained eye, it looks like a '85 and later with the sloped front hood and the raised part...

Anyway, it was a solid looking truck, was missing some trim pieces, but not at all rusted out.

anyway, a super nice truck, I thought.

my '87 blazer owning and all around blazer junkie pal wrote this to me:



NIIIIICE.

Could be a Blazer or a Jimmy. My guess is 84-85, but he's got the grille commonly used for '82-'83.

There are so MANY possible grille combos from every year!
and they all fit every year. LMC can show you pages upon pages upon pages by year, if you want:

http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/bzc/full.aspx?Page=28

The grills and body parts are interchangeable

Only thing that ever really sticks out as diff, is the front fenders
Also interchangeable, but the earlier ones had a bump/crease/line going down to the front signal light, and the light is horizontal instead of vertical:



AND THAT PRE 1976, THE ENTIRE TOP CAME OFF, CAB ROOF WAS PART OF HARD TOP.

That's always a sharp color combo.That is nice.I want to do dual headlights on my '85 Jimmy Sierra.I like the 83/84 best but will stick with the 85-88.

My '90 was solid red w/black top.I think it's in my gallery.But,you prolly meant w/red top.You didn't see many like mine from factory,especially a Silverado.
