It's been so nice out I had to take the top off, I've been waiting to drive it topless ever since I bought it.

**IronCanine** · 05-09-2015, 10:43 PM

That looks fantastic John. I hope it came off smoothly without any trauma to those beautiful and fresh finishes....Don't forget, still looking forward to a pic towing the Chevelle.

warbucket · 05-10-2015, 10:41 PM

Thanks Brad, It was stressful removing the top for the first time. I slid some towels in between the top and quarters then set the top on some 4x4 blocks. I have a warn x9000 from my old jeep up in the attic of the garage, I just passed the cable thru the ceiling.
Someday I'd like to tow the chevelle, that's what I set it up to do.

68panelman · 05-20-2015, 07:55 AM

Looks amazing, Another one of my favorite colors.

ClassicStyle · 06-21-2015, 12:15 PM

truck is beautiful john, you did a fantastic job

bk04z66 · 07-08-2015, 11:48 PM

Great ride, I would love to have a med olive 4x next to my 2x in the garage!

warbucket · 09-05-2015, 09:56 PM

Got my A/C working, I was relieved when the cold air started coming out of the vents. I didn't think it work again, also went to the local cruise night and met a couple other blazer owners. We were able to get them parked side by side.

Chulisohombre · 09-05-2015, 10:40 PM

Nice lineup there.

ClassicStyle · 09-06-2015, 10:39 AM

Still one of my favorites, hope all is well john

warbucket · 04-29-2016, 09:19 PM

Finally got a soft top, I made it all last summer topless and got rained on one time. Luckily I had an umbrella with me and I wasn't too far from home and yes I drove with an umbrella up. I was worried about the door glass fitment after reading about others having problems but everything fits very well. I don't like the idea of sticking Velcro on the tailgate so I'm looking for some magnetic rod. So far I found 1/8" by 1" rod from home depot, I could join them together. Looks like I can make a small slit in the Velcro on the soft top and slide in the magnetic rod in-between the top and Velcro. I'll keep ya posted on how it works.

Chulisohombre · 04-30-2016, 04:36 AM

Looks great.

warbucket · 09-23-2016, 11:53 PM

If anyone is going to the Wildwood NJ Boardwalk car show tomorrow look me up. I drove the blazer down to a friend's house in wildwood today. The blazer did great doing 70 to 75 with traffic at around 2400rpm with the top down. I'll post some pics of the show.

Chulisohombre · 09-25-2016, 07:49 AM

Definitely take pics. Mine is almost always the only first gen at car shows I've been to. Even in the parking lot and not in the shows it draws a crowd. Lol. I don't like to take my truck Over 55. 4.10 gears I Put in aren't that great for highway. I should have left it 3.73 gears but you live and learn.

El Dorado Jim · 03-02-2017, 03:37 AM

Beautiful truck.

mud.man.rj · 11-22-2018, 11:54 PM

Sure is nice, pricey too but not really when compared to a new truck and it basically is new but with more style.

**richard2717** · 11-23-2018, 09:45 AM

I hope John made out well on it. There was a lot of work put into this rig.

At the price these guys have on it you would think that you would at least get matching window cranks.

warbucket · 11-24-2018, 10:36 PM

HI guys, looks like there looking for the guy that's gotta have it but that's ok, can't hurt to try. I got more than half that so I'm happy. It's also been seen on snap chat, something like the history of the blazer.
