How about some pics of 69-72 Blazers and Jimmys. - Page 14 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Granted, I'm more of a factory look kind of guy. I respect the hard work that has been put into all of these Jimmys and Blazers, but for the life of me, I just don't get the lowering thing.??? It just doesn't look right to me. I certainly believe that "to each his own", but I just don't understand why a person would slam their truck down on the ground. I've riden in some friends trucks that are lowered and they seem to have all kinds of issues. I know not all of them do, but it's just weird to me. Just sayin....

I think you must have me confused with someone else! I so have a couple of trucks but mine are trucks and have no suburban doors.

Lol, that's not his. That was a '72 Burb someone had taken pictures of from a cruise night and posted in this thread. Airspeed just happened to quote it.

Here's the 72 GMC I picked up a couple weeks ago. Previously owned by VanceH in Idaho. The guy he sold it to installed a 6" Rancho lift kit, 35" x 12.5" Bighorns, and 15x10 Rock Crusher alloys. Needs some cleanup work, radiator support and body bushings, and a set of hubs in the short term. Long term I want to repaint back to the original dark blue and get the lower woodgrain trim back on it.

Love that one!

1971k567cam · 12-14-2011, 02:16 AM

Thanks I love it more every time I drive it except in the rain. You know what I am saying you live in the north west too.

Fuel injection and 700r4 is a must though.

Well, I haven't had the top off of mine yet. Fortunately we don't get the quantity of rain you guys get. I'm up in the high deserts of Eastern Oregon. The winters probably make up for it. Those cold winter winds suck when you don't have a real good seal around the driver's side door window... I keep getting these little blasts of winter air in my ear!!!

Damn...

dialric · 01-09-2012, 09:25 PM

Blazer looks great .
would you care to share some more pictures on the side rails you made. I really dont have many. They were included in the purchase. We beefed them up so they fell in line with the doors.

dialric · 01-09-2012, 09:43 PM

That thing is REALLY sweet, and right in my backyard too. Hope to see it in person!

1tuff71 · 01-22-2012, 04:16 PM

Thanks. Hoping to hear from you to see if you have the filler neck I'm looking for.

It's looking good! I like the orange...I've been considering going that direction with mine, but I think we have settled on red. Its also crazy how much your before pics look like my "now" pics.
