These trucks are clearly not just for farm trucks anymore...

I saw that one on ebay too. It looks sharp. I don't like the grill guard, but that is just my personal preference.

Blazers are almost getting to be to valuable to 4x4. I had some guy offer me $20K for mine the other day. I gave him my name and number but he never called back. I didn't take him too seriously. He said he has had 50 of them.

All that work to make it a beautiful stock like Blazer and then he cuts up the dash to put a cd player.

bouncytruck...I hear you, I'm kind of glad now that I didn't buy the Blazer LUV2XLER8 (or however you spell his name) bought. If I would have bought it I would have been too tempted to do what I'm doing to mine and that would have been a waste.

Beautiful. I don't particularly like the digital gauges...a little too high tech for me. I'd like to know how he attached his step bars.

I know what you mean about wheelin' these things. I took mine wheelin' a week after I got it painted. The paint wasn't completely cured by that time. Now I've got some permanent Colorado pinstriping.

That is the one that was on Dealsonwheels.com. It was located in Tacoma and Red71cheyenne (Jeff) went and took pictures for me. The dealer was asking $19K at that time. Jeff took alot of pictures and said it was in great shape. I think I asked if they would take $16K for it and they said no way. Now they are trying to sell it for $15K. Maybe they should have been a little more willing to deal at the dealership!

Nice Blazer though! The color grows on you

When I first saw it, I was thinking it it was the one in Tacoma too. But I don't think that one had those wheels or the grill guard. If it was at a dealership, it was probably on consignment and the owner wanted a set amount out of it. The dealership probably just tacked their percentage on top of that.

It is nice. I like the two-tone paint scheme on Blazers...as long as the middle color matches the top.

YUP, ONLY NEGATIVE THING I NOTICED ABOUT THOSE HEADERS I INSTALLED
ON "GQ" IS THAT THEY DON'T HANG DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO SEE THEM.

This is definitely the Blazer from Tacoma. It did have the bars and front guard. It also had a light bar, but it looks like he took it off.
