Yes it will.... don't ask me how I know, .

Just read through the build and it's looking awesome....i've been wanting to do a blazer eventually and I will now that i've seen yours. Looks amazing! Can't wait to see the paint and line-x!

thanks for the compliments guys, wish I could take credit. It all goes to my body guy, Jason Bullock, he's one of the best.

my main dilemma is trying to figure out the speakers. Gotta have my music.

[VA72C10]

What about molded kickpanels and marine speakers in there? They have some decent speakers set up to be in boats and you could have a sweet pod built to house the speaker, aim it up towards you and it would look nice and could still be line-x'd

Here's frizzle fry's vinyl covered fiberglass one for reference

[VA72C10]

And if you want some bass, you can fit a slim depth sub under your seat and have the amp under there as well

that's what I'm doing up front. I'm talking about the rear.

[VA72C10]

You've probably already seen this thread and are looking for something different, but here are a couple of options in this.

yea, I've seen that one. I like what way2lo2 did with the red interior.

Okay, sorry been a while since I updated here. I update almost daily on the TNCTC board. Here's a few of the latest pics:





Having issues with the front end lining up so Jason put on an older set of fenders and hood to see what the problem is. Turned out it's the cowl hood that fighting us. Actually after we put a stock hood on it I like it better with it. Seems like it gives it a shorter nose look and it seems to flow with the rest of the blazer. Tell me your opinions.



I decided on going with the glove box idea that earlgta gave me for the gauges. I guess my only decision is what color of gauges to go with. They have White, Black, Gray, Tan, Aqua, and Gold. You can forget about the Tan, Aqua, or Gold I don't like those colors with the red. Since the old glove box will now be red and not the black bezel I think White or Gray may be the way to go, but what do you guys think. I decided to keep the black dashpad also and not shave the dash.







Here is a setup like one of the other guys has on the board.



Not sure what to do about turn signals or just not worry about it. Of course who wants to be the guy riding down the road with his blinker on and not knowing it. The silver truck always had that problem. I could never get the canceling springs or the cam to turn them off.

Dolphin also makes these Shark ones, not sure if I like them better




















Also you asked for color, I give you color






Jason said the paint was great. I was a little worried about it just because I was buying the paint and that he had never sprayed it before. He said it went on awesome and spread really well. He said it said only one coat, but he hit it with it anyway.

I like the "stock" hood.

[VA72C10]

Looking awesome

[BACKYARD88]

Nice paint! What's the square hole under the radio for?

[5150]

They are for the Air Ride switches. They are black marine switches.

[Palf70Step]

Looking good Brian.

[BACKYARD88]

I see, I figured it had to be for switches or gauges.

[NONHOG]

Cowl hoods are cool but it (your rig) looks smoother w/o cowl hood .

[gringoloco]

stock hood, lookin good

[Rokcrln]

Stay with the stock hood, I feel it will flow better with the smooth look you are going for!

Hey guys, I got a question. I don't know if I'm wavering on my backseat idea I just found this on the big board and was wondering if anybody knew anything about it.

If I was to use this I would just go back with the 91 burb seat that I've had for a while. My only concern lately is getting the Tahoe seat to mount in the back. Not a problem getting it to mount because they make brackets/strikers, it's just I'm afraid that the Tahoe seat won't sit far enough down in the bed for someone head to sit below the windshield. I already have floor brackets for the 91 burb seat that sit down inside the bed with a little cutting. I'll take some pics here in a second of the Tahoe seat because I'm headed over there now and was able to borrow someonelse's third row bench Tahoe seat.

Just got back. Still didn't figure anything out. I've been talking to a guy that has a Wrecked 2000 Yukon with a 5.3 in it for sale. I had a revelation about going over and cutting out the floor brackets for the third row. It doesn't have the third row seat or strikers, but all the Tahoe's/Yukon's/Burb's have the same floor pan(I think)

Took a few crappy pics with my cell phone. Jason and I were talking and he had the idea to paint a few of the under the hood items like the brake booster, hood latch, battery tray, hood hinges and springs a dark gray to go with the red. He also finished up the firewall.

[hotrodhomi]

i have a '97 suburban third row seat in mine. It does not sit too high. I cut some brackets out of a mid '80's suburban and they work great. Rokcrln installed the brackets, I think there is a thread.

[Spray-Bomb]

I like the flat hood

Look'n good bro

[prostreetC-10]

Yes......Cowl hoods are for CAMAROS.......not these things.

[OARNGESI]

Its looking good
