Re: Suggestions on Fate of this Truck

They are only original once.

That truck deserves to be preserved, not modified.

Never jumped on the bandwagon myself, but I guess if you like donks.... to each their own.

I think you have your definitions mixed up. Most opinions are that it would look good lowered with a set of 20's .A donk woul be a lifted version with 28" wheels. A classy version would be lowered with a nice set of 20-22" Billet wheels and thats not a donk or Gangsta version. Stock loks pretty nice on that Jimmy but I think it would only look better with a set of Billet Specialties wheels , lowered a good bit but otherwise left stock appearing on the paint and trim.

Re: Suggestions on Fate of this Truck

I would be willing to do a static drop but that's it. Like Keith said, it's only original once. I wouldn't cut it up any kind of way.

Maybe... but not too radical. At most I'd go for a "period" look and put some wide slot mags on.

Ditto!

If you want to modify a Blazer, go save one from the crusher. This one deserves to be preserved.
