I am a huge fan of this truck. It is simply amazing. If only I can someday achieve this greatness.

turbo350 · 09-02-2007, 09:34 PM

Thats such a nice Blazer! Looks awesome. The 11.1 in your signature, is that referencing perhaps a 1/4 mile time? The motor looks awesome as well. What are the specs on it?

11.1 is the compression of the motor. This is a 400sb 30 over that made it 406, Dart II aluminum heads, 292 comp cam, air gap intake, 750 holly Double pumper. The truck has ran 8.3 1/8 before. That was with street tires. I am having problem with transmissions now. I my get a 4L80E. Well see..

Made some new side back panels for the blazer today with the subs in them. I just need to make up my mind what color I am going with. I think black is the safe color, you can not go wrong on Black on Black.

I also got a new console out of 95-99 chevy truck and I just payed $25.00. That was sweet..

Side boards and console look good.

Black on black.....

tvblazer78 · 10-22-2007, 04:51 PM

Well it's that or gray. I do not think I could put up with the red, It looks good but I don't know.

My blazer came off the show room floor with red in it, so I know what it would look like.

cochino12 · 10-22-2007, 05:03 PM

Are those panels going to angle down like they are in the pic or are they just not installed all the way? I'm going to be building a sub enclosure for mine as soon as i figure out if I'm keeping the back seat. I was thinking about building the sides out (to compensate for sub/box depth) but I really dont think it's going to look very good.

I was thinking something like this

tvblazer78 · 10-26-2007, 09:05 AM

I am looking into doing something like that, but using some parts from rod doors http://roddoors.com/pages/tunes-dir.html.

I have not made a box for my sub yet, it's not even pluged in. I just have it in the hole for now.

Hey your the one that has to live with your decision so you do what you thinks best. If I didn't really like your Blazer I wouldn't care if you put lime green in it. Since I do like it, I can't help but throw my unsolicited opinion out there.

If red is to loud for you soften it up and use something from the brown/tan family. I got lots of ideas, just ask my wife...

tvblazer78 · 10-26-2007, 09:07 AM

Thanks Ken, I know what you are talking about. let me think about it some more. That tan is looking pritty good.

Food for thought...

tvblazer78 · 11-04-2007, 03:28 PM

Here are the pics before air ride.

copperchevy · 11-04-2007, 09:09 PM

Real nice blazer!!! Do you happen to have a pic of how them rod doors doorpanels bolt on. I'm assuming plastic clips and or modifing the door skin. Trying to do something different than stock on my c10.

tvblazer78 · 11-04-2007, 09:51 PM

Thank you...

They are just hanging on right now. I have to cover them, but when I do they will have clips with double sided tape and velcro to hold them on. I very happy with them and the cool looks. I will be posting pic of the door panels and seats in about two-three weeks.

87 STEPPER · 11-23-2007, 04:44 PM

Hey Trav,

Here's a center console you should consider installing in that fine Blazer of your's.

I got this one off ebay and installed it in my '99 Tahoe it's out of a '00 Denali and it's got a Bose sub and Amp and a 5 disc CD cngr in it from factory.

I think it would fit in there nicely and it has 4 drink holders in it two on the top cntr and two in a small fold down door at the rear floor for the rear passengers.

That one you have now is what my Hoe had in it and it made alot of squeaky noise's and rattel's it drove me nut's.

Looks really good!!! Hopefully mine goes in for paint at months end!
