Those "buckles" were one of a few things that I wanted to keep. When I first started this build 2.5 years ago, I set out to build one similar to one I had back in high school / college 20+ years ago. A few touches like the seat buckles, the aluminum gauge bezel, the orange Cheyenne logo on the dash, the bowtie on the factory center console, the old school 17/18" wheels with spinners, the carbureted engine with manual choke and the static drop were all part of the vision. Doing it "my way" and not necessarily how the trends are today, has given me a great deal of pride in the way this turned out. I spent a ton of hours, and a few more dollars, that I ever thought I would. In the end, it turned out pretty solid and I am very proud of being able to do it in my own garage, with an extremely small amount of outside help.

Thanks again guys. It means a lot to me to hear nice thoughts about this Blazer from a group of guys that understand what it takes.
