I have a ton of em, but the truck is in a million pieces right now, so very few have any pics. Here's my instrument cluster, that's done for sure.

And my engine, It doesn't look quite like it used to.

New seat ,carpet and stereo.It has 3 1/2 in the ac vents{got the idea here]
6 1/2 in the doors and 2 10 in kickers under the seat with a kicker amp.Had to build my own boxes to do this.They are not pretty but they sound good.
It has blue led lights in the vent spks.and 2 blue led lights under the seat. Just need to hide a few more wires.

Not super elaborate, but here are a few of mine.

Dash - Stock speedo, Gas gauage from a LaSabre, Tach, and VDO Guages across the bottom. I need to finish the paint on the bezel

Filled in all the holes I don't need on the firewall. Eventually It'll have aftermarket AC/heat. Also used serpentine belt setup from 94 C1500.

Stock filler neck filled in and tank relocated to rear.

Using an 88-98 style filler door for the stock 72 Blazer tank.

I figure it will look a whole lt better once paint is on and everything is put back together.:cool: ;)

I think those ports look cool, but I think its a little to much with them and all those badges at the same time

Thanks Lo - I was thinking about doing just that. When I mocked them up, I was running my 18's and bags were flat, it looked killer with the hood up or down. These inputs help, thanks for the photo-shop. Don't want to it to look like a toy or anything.

This may not amount to much in the way of mods, but it will get comments and is easy and relatively cheap. I have a small stash of stainless steel bolts, washers, nuts etc. in the shop, and any time I take out a highly visible bolt like in the eng compartment, I put back a polished SS piece.

This polishing can be done in an electric drill mounted in a vise, but a drill press is easier. Just chuck up the bolt, use a file to cut the logo/markings on the head, then go to a course grit sand paper, med., fine, then use your favorite metal polish for the mirror finish.

The only caveat here is, if you're using a SS nut on a SS bolt, you must use never-sieze or the threads are likely to gall.

Paaw, the trans is a TH350 that was rebuilt 1000 miles before I bought it. It has a stage 2 shift kit in it, and the stock stall converter.

Slomotion, I did the same thing with all my hardware, and in my opinion it is a very worthwhile mod.

Kinda low-tech and easy. I mounted 2 pairs of Pilot brand fog & driving lights (one pair clear, one amber) in my bumper marker light holes. Yes, its on a 4x4 but I think it would look good a lowered rig too.

HERE'S ONE OF THE THINGS I DID. WELDED IN A ROLL PAN, FAB'D A LICENSE PLATE BOX, AND THEN WELDED IT IN AS SLANTED AS I COULD POSSIBLY GET IT SLANTED. JUST ENOUGH TO CATCH SOMEBODY'S EYE I HOPE. ONCE I GET A 1967 LICENSE PLATE FRAME, AND MY VANITY PLATE FOR IT THIS SUMMER SOMETIME, IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER. (LOVED THE HANK WILLIAMS JR. BUMPER STICKER ON THE PREVIOUS POST, AWESOME!!:lol: )
