Re: 1978 2wd Blazer build

You are close enough to Canada that the truck may have been originally built for that market. Seem odd for a 2wd Blazer, but who knows?

Re: 1978 2wd Blazer build

1 vote for blue, yes I'm biased a little. If you're going to keep those wheels, it will make them stand out a little more than with the black paint.
