I haven't really posted any photos of my Blazer so I thought it's time. I bought it 2 years ago and haven't had any time to work on it because our house has taken all my free time. Now that the house is pretty much done I have been able to get some things done on the Blazer. It has been sitting out in the yard for the last 2 years so I decided to pull it out and mostly just clean it up so I can drive it for the summer before I tear into it too much. The before photos are from a few weeks ago when I moved it out of the yard.

A few more

Very nice looking truck. I like the stock steel wheels. They look good with dog-dish hubcaps (see pics of my truck

). The rally's look good too.

I may have asked you before, but where do you live. My parents are on the other side of the bay above the old Cooston store. I went to North Bend (graduated in '87) and my parents owned McInerney's Auto Parts behind the 7-11 in Empire.

Sweet Blazer man, I love green. I got my 70 RS/SS Camaro and it was the middle shade of green (in 70 the Camaro came with a light, medium and the dark forest green like your Blazer) so I painted it the dark forest green. Man, green isn't a popular color for some reason, but me likey!!

Great looking Blazer!

Jtrux · 06-09-2008, 05:28 PM

Looks good, the rally's are growing on me, can't decide if I want them myself or not.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-09-2008, 06:24 PM

Nice looking rig

BLUE THUNDER · 06-09-2008, 07:42 PM

Nice ride. Hope you enjoy it. Mario

dirty trucker · 06-09-2008, 07:55 PM

Looks ALOT nicer with the parking lights installed in a new f. bumper.. I like the ralleys myself.. I had those with 32x11.5's, your look the same..

**jaros44sr** · 06-09-2008, 08:20 PM

Hey, the old girl cleaned up nice.Is that what it looked like in your avatar?

Mint68 · 06-10-2008, 12:31 AM

Looks real nice. Any pics of the interior?

**special-K** · 06-10-2008, 06:04 AM

Looking good!I believe that`s a Hickey roof rack.Nice period accessory.

Big J · 06-10-2008, 07:55 AM

Thats a nice lookin' K5. The ralleys look sweet! Thats the same route I took with mine. Only with 35" mud terrains. Are those 32's or 33's? lift?

The Blazer in my avatar is a different one that I parted out.

The interior is nothing special to look at right now. I took the carpet out and it just has the factory front buckets, it came from the factory without a rear seat but I will be putting one in.

I was wondering about that roof rack I have never seen another one like it but it's definitely for a Blazer. At first I thought about taking it off, but I am starting to like it now.

No lift, just stock height with 31x10.5's

Jimma · 06-10-2008, 01:57 PM

I love that color! Looks like a great truck...

bouncytruck · 06-10-2008, 02:04 PM

Interesting, I've never seen a CST without a rear seat before.

That must mean it's ultra rare one of a kind worth thousands more than any other Blazer, right?

Here are a few of what it looked like when I first bought it and the old school Warn winch with the controls mounted through the ashtray.

**jaros44sr** · 06-11-2008, 08:43 PM

Same color as my jimmy....was. Now I see why you replaced the front bumper, that thing was HUGE. Did it work?

Like the full wheel covers, but the ralleye wheels look better. Nice to find out the roof rack was a hickey. Glad ya found the time to work on it, I know the feeling, my house is 100 yrs old and I 'm always finding something to do to it

Hoffa · 06-12-2008, 03:09 AM

Nice Blazer. I have a very similar one, same color, I put ralley's on it, it came with a winch, etc. I too put the stock bumper back on it. Being you are not that far away, we may bump into each other one day.
