Here is my other project I have kind of abandoned for the last couple years. But I am going to make an attempt to get it together this year. It is a 74 factory 2wd chevy blazer. 73-75 blazer's were full convertibles. They made less than 1,000 per year in 2wd form. The majority were 4x4. I bought a complete 89 chevy suburban with a new 350 crate engine and a rebuilt trans for $1700.00. I bought it so I could strip it and update my blazer with the newer front sheetmetal and the fuel injected 350 and 700r4 trans. I also have the leather front bucket seats and console and the rear third row seats out of a 03 tahoe. These seats look like they were made for this truck. Here are a few older pics. I will get new ones this weekend and throw them up.

Here is how it looked when I bought it from a mexican guy in California. Kind of ugly but I saw what it could be. Kind of like when I bought my base model Tacoma.

Here is how it looked 2 weeks after I bought it. First thing to go was the gangsta white walls and those ugly ass spokes. IMO spokes only look good in 13x7 and on old Impalas.

Here are a couple pics with the new suburban parts on it and the tahoe seats in. I have since got everything except the body tub media blasted and just needing to start body work and paint. I am going to get the body blasted too as soon as funds allow.

Nice! No plans to chop the windshield?

I'm hoping to pick up a 64 F100 in the next year and start this process.

No I am not going to chop the windshield. I am going to run a soft top just like this, only grey to match the seats.
