Cool rides! Keep us posted on any progress. I think the GMC front end would be pretty cool too. I'm partial to the 67/68 chevy front end but I like em' all and the GMC would be different than everyone else's.
Good luck!

raggedjim nice blazer and jimmy. I think the gmc grill would be best. Do another photoshop of your blazer but pull the flames out a little longer so they over lap onto the bed. I think that would look a little better. I have so many cool ideas for these 67-72 body styles I need about 10 trucks to use all my ideas. Unfortunately or fortunately whichever way you look at it I have a plainjane 67 and I don't like the way the small back window looks in a bright or dark color (red or black my 2 favorites) and I don't want to over modify it because it was my grandpaws but I like the lighter more pastel colors and the 90% stock body like kxmotox247 baby blue 67.

Thanks guys, I like the blue and I like the mint green, hey I like just about everything on these trucks! As far as the flames, I tried alot of different ones and finally I just had to say "okay, that's it" I still go back and forth on the colors, the lower silver is for sure, but I have changed the green to red and blue and burgundy and etc....

I'm with you guys on keeping body's stock (well, shaving doesn't count...) Here's a pic of a Blazer that has GREAT workmanship, but I would have kept the front stock, just my opinion.

I don't know if I care for the bowtie grille but man that thing is sharp. Somone has spent a lot of time on the bodywork. Very nice.

Thanks...
I'm running 18 x 8's on the front and 20 x 10's on the rear. I'm pretty sure the fronts are typical backspacing and the rear uses about the minimum backspacing on a 10" rim that American Racing offers.
For Air ride, I've got firestone bags and 2 way controls. The system was pieced together by the previous owner. There are some more details about it on the november truck of the month contest.
I've always like the truck in your Avatar!
