yeah but how often are things done right when the truck looks like this now? not likely.. it is a fubar project thats liekly to stay fubared as seen by the current truck... it would be easier i would think to stick with the front end a few years back where it at least had the squarish headlights... the transition can definitely be seen but i'm not sure that it is possible to go from the old ot the new frontend

looks really cool great idea to be diffrent from the others as far as the body lines i love the old truck look reminds me of a bull dog standing off with something anyway some people put newer style boxes on them and several other diffrent mods. some i have liked some i have not the one thing i try not to do is critisize b\c as i have said before its your vision do what you want not what everyone else does as far as the pink flames hope its a girl driver

Looks BAD! I mean that in a good way. Looks like a lot of work went into that. Nice.

I admire the work the guy put into it but I'm with swervin ervin...why? I love blazers and I would never mess with the fenders outside 73-92'. I also have a complete article out of truckin' (from 02'?) were a guy took a 2001 Suburban and turned it into a 2 door blazer, and I've seen people put those 03'+ clips on burbs and tahoes....so I just want to know why he didn't do something like that with a 01' or something because it is obvious with his skills(if he did the work) that he could do that easily....or maybe his thought train was to do something completely different and test himself as a body/fabricator guy???

that definately took a lot of effort and thought, and although i think that front end completely rapes the rest of the otherwise nice blazer, i wish i could do that! and i really dont mind the pink flames.

He needs to add a little more new style to the truck. maybe newer taillights, handles, etc etc. The cowl transition I would like to see better. IMO if he does if right and makes all the body lines meet up and adds some newer style curvy items to the truck it could look good.
