So do the straps attach to the back seat armrests? I'm hoping to get one this summer.

Also, how do you find it drives with the bigger tires? Does it wander?

Re: Before and After

Man.....what an awesome transformation! You did a great job on that!

Must have been a great time in Pigeon Forge running around with the three of them together.

My '72 is not quite there, but getting really close. I drive it most every day now, and it gets compliments everywhere I go.

I've completely rebuild the entire drivetrain, and painted the front end (while it was off). Just about completed the interior, and will complete the door and bed paint in a few months.

Again, what a great transformation on your Blazer!

Is it just the angle or did you swap your grill?
