Re: ok need help

Granted, it would be nice. It's your first truck, so I understand the sentiment. But, you asked and since you drive the Blazer, it makes sense to tackle the '65. My thinking is still Blazer....lowered and bagged for a good ride. Topless in the summer, with a tonneau that incorporates some T-bird style pods behind the seat backs that would extend downward into the interior between the seats to create a console, ala Corvette. Heck, you could swap the dash for something more Vette-like. With a lowered stance, and no vent windows, the Roadster look could come on board. Heck, you could fabricate some windshield posts that would allow for an ever-so-slightly curved windshield, ala a Cabriolet,but make sure the curve of the windshield matched that of the cowl. A chopped top could be an alternative, whether it was designed to cover the interior, or just be a more diminuitive single-cab look with a hard tonneau on the bed. Of course, with some more time, you can make it look like you want. You expressed ideas for the other two trucks, and I don't pretend to be able to tell you how to restyle your trucks. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

Re: ok need help

well the blazer has 69000 original miles but is it 4wd. its compleat and working all the way down to the a/c.
if it was not so clean and have all the parts i would consider a 2wd. i love the roadster and it would be fast as hell....
