after a little break from the truck(wifes car wreck)I got started on the truck again

this is what it started out as.

350/th-350 base blazer with a lot of hidden sins under some bad paint work

the firewall was left red and will be sprayed with under coating during the 6.0l ls1 swap.Cut the fire wall to convert it to a/c.the door striker area was all cracked and broke out so we cut and welded a chunk in from the parts truck.All the trim hole and emblem hole were shaved.the quarter on the drivers side was full of window mesh (GOTTA LIKE P/O

)and fiberglass.It was cut out and replaced with steal.The rear floor needs to be cut out and fixed yet.hoping to be in paint for the 20th.then start the ls-1 swap in march

the floor in the rear is so weak the rachet strap is holding the bed sides in to keep the tailgate shut!
