Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Here's my favorite picture of my '86 C20. I took the photo in Mesa Verde National Park.



And here's a couple of it doing not-so-2wd things... Tincup Pass, Colorado:





And finally, one of it all cleaned up:

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Lots of boat towing, camping, and some road trips up into Alaska, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories if I'm lucky, lol.

I'm slowly going through it with the intent of turning it into the ultimate road vehicle while keeping it as bulletproof and reliable as possible. It's got 80k on the clock now, so the body is tight and its a West Texas desert truck, so completely rust free. So far I've dropped in a built TH700, put in a Richmond Powetrax No-slip unit in the 14 bolt, gone through the brakes, completely upgraded the cooling system, did a serpentine belt and sanden compressor A/C conversion, and freshened up the 454 with an Edelbrock intake, Doug Thorley headers, 2.5" dual exhaust, Ram Air inlet system, and tuned the carb out/upgraded the ignition system. I put in full instrumentation (vacuum, trans temp, wide band O2, tach), a nice Cobra Nigh****ch CB/Weatherband, and swapped in a set of leather seats out of a '96 burb. I'm in the process now of replacing the carpet and sound deadening the interior, and I'm going to take care of some stuff like headliner, etc, when I get through with that. I'm trying to put together a really nice sound system for it as well.

Powertrain wise, I'm just going to run it like it is until it ever gives me trouble. When the engine goes, I'm going to put in a Vortec 454 with a mild cam underneath all the engine mods I've already done. I may consider a NV4500 swap, or a TH200 or 4L80E at that point too. Other than that, I plan on basic maintenance and a sort of continuously ongoing restoration to keep it nice while I drive the wheels of it.

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I did the 17" H2 wheels and tires and center caps off a newer GM 3/4 ton too. That's fairly obvious though, haha.

That's a really great looking truck. I'd leave it just like it is and drive the heck out of it.

Anybody else watch the Walking Dead? I've been loving the 2wd 89-91 burb that shows up in season 2.

Your truck also really reminds me of this one. Still one of my favorite Suburban pictures/stories...

Did these lights bolt in to existing holes on your burb? I have a 90 front clip on mine and needed to know if I need the whole headlight assembly from the 95? Do I need the mounting bracket,or will just the headlight itself work ?

88suburban, that rig is sweet, i noticed in the pictures the wheels are different color, are you running the factory argent color, or the darker charcoal/black?

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

I used the bracket. I cut the headlight bezel on the 90 grill. I attached the bracket to my radiator core support and used 4" screws with nuts for the adjustments.
