First let me start off by saying im pretty new to this website,,This is my 1972 K5 Blazer..... This is my first 72 Blazer project..., I started building my truck about a year ago on my free time.... It sat at my friends shop for the time being,, and we would work on it when ever we had any free time do to our regular jobs.... But its coming along pretty good for being just a weekend toy for now... Here are some pictures of before and in the process.. Let me know what u think about it? Also give me your opinion im debating on the bumpers if i should do them chrome or black.

Here are the pictures

Tw1nky72K5 · 06-12-2011, 07:15 PM

The only major rust this truck had was the outer and inner rocker panel and the lower front quarter panels... Besides that this truck was pretty solid.

Tw1nky72K5 · 06-12-2011, 07:28 PM

I decided to shave off the gas tank and relocate it to the inside of the truck... To give it a smoother cleaner look.

Blazer is looking good, nice work. As for the bumper, depends on the final paint and scheme you want. Black bumpers look good if on the right setup. Good luck

Thanx man,,,, Well as for the paint I went with the "Lime Green" Im trying to go more for the off road look... So I thought the black and green would look good together I wanted a different look

Thats going to look good, the black wheels will go great with the truck.

matthew79 · 06-13-2011, 03:23 PM

Nice!! I'd go with the chrome bumpers though.

Tw1nky72K5 · 06-13-2011, 06:29 PM

I decided to go with the "Raptor" bedliner i was going to take it to get done at a shop but decided to do it myself and came out pretty good for being my first time throwing bedliner and i also saved myself couple hundreds its the best way to go its not hard at all the hardest part is prepping it covering it up good so it wont get oversprayed.

**Warrens69GMC** · 06-13-2011, 06:34 PM

Tw1nky72K5 · 06-13-2011, 06:47 PM

matthew79 · 06-13-2011, 07:41 PM

Man that thing is looking great! I love the touch screen too. I already said this but I think some chrome bumpers/grille with those wheels would set it off.
