Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

I cant tell you from my generation perspective (Im 27) tastefully modified is probably a lot more desireable. Especially since 90% of people my age never owned a carb'd engine or 4 wheel drum or manual steering vehicle in their life. when i first got my K5 i told my wife to pull the choke out and her response was.. "choke like on the lawn mower? why the hell does your truck have that?" LOL

I at least have a electric choke on mine. Lol. But I'm thinking about using a choke cable as a hand throttle since mine is stick.

Re: 70 Blazer Frame Off

I'm 28 and I'd have to say if it was all original and numbers matching I'd keep it original down to the spark plugs. Luckily my blazer was no where near original so I decided to try the ls swap. But I am taking the truck back to original looks including carpet and am radio. Now I did see an all original blazer down to the radiator hose clamps and I thought that was the coolest thing!
