I would leave it as is. Just too original and unmolested to even consider it.

Malo83 · 01-21-2013, 03:50 PM

Keep it original, give her a nice drop with some rims and tires and your good to go

Don't butcher her

Jonboy · 01-21-2013, 04:16 PM

I would be interested in this as well if you do decide to flip it.

72BlckButy · 01-21-2013, 06:19 PM

Drop it, add wheels and drive it. Period.

Any more pictures of that thing?

f.monroe · 01-21-2013, 10:50 PM

Returned your pm. Would it be possible to come look at it in person this week or possibly Saturday ?

Never jumped on the bandwagon myself, but I guess if you like donks....

to each their own.

**LEEVON** · 01-22-2013, 11:47 AM

I have never seen a "gangsta" driving a lowered truck with 20" wheels.

It's stereotyped already, too late

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.

Ditto!

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

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.

77shortstep · 01-22-2013, 04:32 PM

oh how i wish i could buy this from you, that thing is beautiful.

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

Yea now you're talkin. Or maybe some Daisy mags!

slvr34c · 01-24-2013, 01:37 AM

In my opinion GM built these too high to start with. Drop it a few inches and drive it. Almost finished with mine.

jitteryguy · 01-24-2013, 03:16 PM

blazer's are to big for the stock wheel/tire combo. they need to be lower'd or raise'd with a tire/wheel combo that fill's the fender well.

Even better. Daisy's would look sweet on this truck.

rusty76 · 01-24-2013, 09:03 PM

Leave it pretty much as is, drive it and enjoy. Loose the smoothies, they don't look right on any of our trucks anymore. And just have fun. When's the last time to did that?

mrblalock66 · 01-27-2013, 07:37 PM

Ok folks the Blazer is for sale.

**lolife99** · 01-27-2013, 07:47 PM

Per forum rules,... You are going to have to put it in the "Trucks for Sale" section,... with a price.

This isn't ebay.

V. For sale or trade items must be listed in the appropriate category. Please list items only once, no cross posting or the ads will be deleted
