Re: New guy from central New York
VTBlazer, I'll be taking you up on that offer! This is my first classic truck, so this gearing and lifting is all new to me. My previous rides were a 71 cutlass convertible, 80 Vette and a 71 Chevelle convertible. Finally decided to buy something my 6'5" frame could fit into! Keep the info commin'

Re: New guy from central New York
Real nice blazer you have. Welcome aboard! I had a 80' vette also but I like the Jimmy much better.
When you get around to taking more pics PLEASE, PLEASE take some close up pics of the tube bars under the doors. This is what I have been looking for. I would imagine they are custom mounted so I am very interested in the details. Thanks. Aaron

Re: New guy from central New York
The trip to Michigan sounds awesome...especially since I just saw those pic posted by another member. When is it? I'd want to make sure any bugs are worked out of the blazer...I only drove it up and down the road twice. I'll post some pics of the bars when I get her out of storage. I can tell you this, they flex quite a bit when I step on them, but I'm about 270lbs.
