Re: New Top, Brush Guard, and License Bracket
Red71Cheyenne - The winch is an old 70's era Hickey Sidewinder. It fits up between the engine crossmember and the front bumber with minor trimming of the bumper. I fabbed up the mount, as I could not locate an original one made for a Blazer.
Big Block - I love ochre too. I don't choose my trucks by what color they are, but rather what I just happen to find. I really wanted a hugger orange Blazer, but came across mine 15 years ago and fell in love.
Bouncytruck - The sliders are great. Allows passenger in back seat to get more air, and really keeps the interior cooler when cruising in the high desert with the front windows down too. Kind of comes in the front windows and goes out the sliders without causing a lot of tubulence.
Shiner - I don't know much about the sliders other than they were an old aftermarket item. They open like pick-up truck rear window sliders with 4 panes of glass each, and can be locked when closed. The winch is a Hickey Sidewinder as mentioned above. I run 6-inch Superlift springs all around, but I get a little more lift out of the 14 bolt rear and D60 front due to bigger axle tubes. Removed one leaf out of each of the front springs to soften up the ride and lower the nose a bit. Tires are 35x12.50x16.5 Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips on old 9.75x16.6 steelies.
Jtrux - The Bronco is my daily driver. I rescued it from its original owner a couple years back, brought it back to life, and now just use it as it was intended - a utility vehicle. It was essentially rust free being from Southern California. Its a great little truck with a 302 and 3 speed manual on the tree, but I far prefer the Blazer for long road trips/exploration.
