nibs · 01-03-2010, 10:51 PM

Anyone know the owner? I want to see more of this thing. Im in love with the color. Thanks

lclippard · 01-03-2010, 10:59 PM

oooooo, that IS nice.

63chevyll · 01-03-2010, 11:00 PM

that grill with that emblem is a nice touch

68 short step · 01-03-2010, 11:08 PM

i normally dont like the billet grilles on these trucks, but that one is nice.

tcb-1 · 01-03-2010, 11:09 PM

I'm digging the '59 Cadillac batwing air cleaner!

the color "kind of" reminds me of a '65-'66 GM truck color. pops had one about that exact color. nice, regardless.......

oldblue1968chevy · 01-03-2010, 11:54 PM

looks ALMOST like my trucks color..

**STP67-72** · 01-04-2010, 12:14 AM

I think that is Joels truck if it is from Texas. If so,it has been built for at least 10 years. It use to be 2 tone. He is from Houston area.Some of his friends are on this forum. It was at Good Guys in Dallas last 2-3 years. Had some old school blue rims and small caps on it.

suville · 01-04-2010, 12:30 AM

That air cleaner is a 55-56 Cad-Olds item and MTS sells em, scroll down item AF-47

tcb-1 · 01-04-2010, 09:07 AM

ah, 55-57 Caddy batwing. thought it was from a newer. thanks suville, Imay have to pick one of those up. I found an original, but I would have to spend my mortagage payment on it! the repops are nice, but nothing's like good old original!!

sorry for the hijack.

back to the paint subject.......

I think you are right..here are some I took at the goodguys...let me see if I can find some more

suville · 01-04-2010, 09:17 AM

Doug the repops are every bit as nice as the OE and already set up for a dry element 4"X14", the OE was oil bath and converting one is somewhat involved I did that before these were available I wouldnt go that route again with these available and theyre black satin powder coated too! All in all they are a very nice alternative to the OE I'm hoping I have the clearance on my BBC (Cad) with the Edelbrock intake its gunna be close!

clos69 · 01-04-2010, 09:21 AM

Here's more

**Boog** · 01-04-2010, 12:57 PM

Hey thanks for digging those up Clos. I have been admiring that ride for a good while and only have seen one shot of it. It's every bit as nice as I thought it would be.

98L150 · 01-04-2010, 01:32 PM

yes that is my friend Joels truck and he lives just north of Houston.

Here are a few pics fo his truck. the interior pics posted above is from another friend of mines truck. Here is a pics of Joels interior with a few more I have of his truck

3Speed68 · 01-04-2010, 01:37 PM

Where did that really cool seat come from? I want one.

Great job on the Rims! Love the caps/beauty rings.

big_al_71 · 01-04-2010, 01:50 PM

That truck is awesome.......I wonder how the hood latch is opened with the billet grille.??

clos69 · 01-04-2010, 01:51 PM

Very nice truck indeed...yeah I think the interior pick I posted belongs to the darker blue tuck next to it. My bad

72blazerrodster · 01-04-2010, 03:30 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. This was my first truck, have owned it for over 20 years. The color is a PPG Turquoise. I'm in the process of building a 72 Blazer rodster, frame is done. I just bought my son his first truck, a 70 GMC short wide truck.

**Boog** · 01-04-2010, 05:39 PM

Well hey Joel is it? Let me be the first to welcome you aboard. One snap of your truck got posted up here last summer from a member who'd been to Good Guys or some show. I fell in love with it by that one shot. I am a big fan of the painted smoothy, moon n white wall look. Your truck sits right with the right color and all. It's got that late fifties look goin on. Being in my 50's I appreciate the look. Thanks for joining and don't be a stranger. Oh and we're interested in the Blazer rod too.

jmuck · 01-04-2010, 07:15 PM

Hey Joel did you air ride the blazer frame?

powell72 · 01-04-2010, 07:27 PM

Awesome looking truck, I like both wheel setups but I think the billets fit the look of the truck a little better with all the billet inside. I'd still make a spot for it my garage without complaining though.

greens69 · 01-04-2010, 08:18 PM

Welcome Joel....about time you got on here.

speeddemon619 · 01-04-2010, 08:49 PM

I like the billet wheels in the first picture! Trucks lookin great, id like a little more info about seat. I like how it has the curvature and looks quite a bit more comfortable then the plain ole bench!

72blazerrodster · 01-06-2010, 03:30 PM

No Jory, I have not done the air ride. I will take it to you one of these days. Been working on Matt's truck, he got his permit.

I bought the seat frame and cushion from ISS (interior supply and services) in Houston, they have a lot of different designs. I think the web page is www.interiorsupply.com

Conroe trucker · 01-12-2010, 11:17 PM

We need to hook up and talk cars.
My 4x4 is almost done, and I just gave the 70 to Danny for body work and paint.

Our shop is behind Tasco, stop in sometime.
