18 year newbie with 77 2wd blazer

this is my second project and ive only had this blazer for three days now and the interior is already gone and got most of the trim off. Its a rust free AZ truck with a 400SBC. the only plans i got right now is to paint it a two-tone yellow with white and 18x9 American racing salt flats up front and 20x9.5 in the rear and most likely some cherry bombs for an exhaust

Cool blazer.
I like a 4/6 drop,... but you better do your suspension work before you buy rims.
A 9" rim up front may be tough to make fit.
An 8" rim will work with a 5" backspace, (as long as it's a 17" or larger rim).

Keep us posted.
