Great Blazer! I looked at your thread and unfortunately it looks like many of the photos disappeared.

How did get the front so low?

I've got springs and drop spindles on mine and I'm constantly hitting the bump stops hard. (Portland decided to do away with policemen and put speed bumps on every block instead.)

Re: Before and After ... Lets see your trucks transformation.

Still waiting for a front bumper somehow, and carpet. 8 year transformation. This originally had the standard ochre and white paint scheme, without moldings short a paint divider and glass.
