Re: a few pics of completed 72

Sweet!
I wish I had an old pic of mine handy...it wasn't nearly as clean as that but I had the rootbeer brown w/tan hard top...kinda similar to yours. But for the record I like your color combo better than what mine WAS.....

Re: a few pics of completed 72

Great looking blazer, nice work!

Gotta ask though, does it really sit that low in the rear or is it just the pic?

Level that beauty out already.

Re: a few pics of completed 72

Looks like another fine first gen. I also like the color combo, especially the tan lid.

Re: a few pics of completed 72

The Blazer sits nice and level, I don't like the dumped rear look either. THe wheels are 16x10 and the tires are 35-12.50-16, and a 6 inch lift. The color is the new chevy color, and It wasn't till I got the top on the it really started looking better, plus all the chrome helped too

Re: a few pics of completed 72

I'm thinking of using Nitto Mud Grapplers too how do you like them I have heard they are pretty loud, but that will go with my exhaust. Love the color choice we are painting my Sons 78 Z28 Camaro a similar color.

Re: a few pics of completed 72

I like the tires, they start humming at about 45, I think they are gonna be a good tire, I guess they don't last long on newer trucks, but I think the blazers are lighter, should get a little longer wear. I'v heard nothing but good things about toyo m/t tires but they were a little to much for me
