Don’t bother with rear tow hooks. They are useless if you have a rear bumper. I put a set on my k20. Was a complete waste of time. As for vintage pieces, you could run a CB and these floor mats would look great in a red/black Blazer: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-4x4...UAAOSwIy1f1jvb

Thanks for posting. Keep the updates coming.
Good to know on the tow hooks! Thanks!

I read your complete thread on your blazer the other day. Beautiful truck.

Factory caps. Lots of Hickey stuff. Period correct cable operated warn winch. Period correct old school aluminum valve covers and dual snorkel air cleaner. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you.

That's pretty close to what I am envisioning. Beautiful truck. Ochre is my favorite factory color.

I have some old school KC pleather covers. It used to have lights on the front.

Lots of cool old stuff out there it seems. I never knew how much there was until recently.
