I saw this truck at a local car show. I liked it alot. I am not big on some of the interior parts but man can i appreciate this beautiful work. The owner was a really nice guy. Just thought i would share

krue · 10-21-2006, 05:59 PM

Sweet blazer, think I've seen it before.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-21-2006, 06:33 PM

Check out that fender /cowl line neat....

bouncytruck · 10-21-2006, 06:58 PM

There have been quite a few articles on that truck. Sure would be neet to see it in person.

Bob Moore · 10-21-2006, 08:01 PM

Also noticed the flush mounted windshield.

abadsvt · 10-21-2006, 08:53 PM

Whoops. I should have checked it before i posted. Sorry for the duplicate pic. I found a couple more pics on my camera. I don't know why they didn't download before. Oh well. Anyways here they are. Enjoy!

I am still drooling but kind of pissed that he used some of my ideas!!

Bob Moore · 10-21-2006, 11:19 PM

Also noticed the personalized plate "FATT 70" and the 67 front clip.

That thing has been built for quite a few years now. I've got the special edition 67-72 magazine (bought from a board member) dated 4/99 that Blazer on the cover.

*bskylerj* · 10-22-2006, 12:33 AM

I love it and I want it but I know I can not have it. Damn it

**Nobby** · 10-22-2006, 01:16 AM

If anyone has a copy of that 99 magazine and wants to sell it to me I need it. Thanks Nobby

jimmydean · 10-22-2006, 01:59 AM

Why the hood stick when he has what looks to be functional hood hindges?

A lot of work for sure! I think I've seen a picture of it here somewhere. still nice to see and great detail. Thanks for the pics.

llegos · 10-22-2006, 02:43 AM

i def like the idea of a slammed blazer, but it almost looks too bare for me. nothing under the hood besides the engine and the completely bare dash minus gauges

junkyardjohn · 10-22-2006, 07:29 AM

VERRRRY NIIICE!!! ALOT OF HOURS OF SOME FINE CRAFTMANSHIP WENT INTO THIS PROJECT.

Not a real big fan of the leather seats & all, but the rest looks great.

Because he chromed them and the heat tanks take away from the springs power!

That just means you have to take it to the next level. I see a lot of neat stuff. I really like the top rail of the bed and cab that is smooth then flows up to meet the cowl. The flush windshield smooth's the cowl out too.

While I am like everyone else and see a couple of things that I would have done different, I'm still drooling over it. That is very well done....

**N2TRUX** · 10-22-2006, 10:47 AM

Ok, lets play name the mods here. What exactly do you see changed in this pic?

rodstored-72 · 10-22-2006, 11:15 AM

to me the cowl looks completely scratch built. not to mention the joining of the the posts to the cowl. i also see a raked roof. i think that i see the w/s is shorter then stock ( not as wide to the door frame), that maybe just the pic. i guess that is it for now??? what else??? oohhh i do see mile deep paint too!

let's hear some different views...

rodstored-72

PanelDeland · 10-22-2006, 11:28 AM

1 piece window style top of doors(No windows on sides)/mirrors,filled cowl,chopped and laid back windshield,filled windshield top rail,reshaped door panels,peak of hood continued on cowl,cowl to fender gap raised and filled,cowl narrowed,tub top rail filled,flush fit windshield,chromed hood hinges,filled emblem holes,filled defroster vents,custom/aftermarket seats,door panels,and steering wheel. That's all I see right off but this angle also made me notice the body line from the door to fender is off.Not much but eniough considering the build quality of everything else.Still a nicely done truck just seems the guy who did the rest of the work wouldn't have allowed that to pass.
BTW these are only from the pic in N2Trux post.

BTW What is the prize for finding the most mods?

I chromed mine and never had a problem, work as they are new???

*72CSTC5* · 10-22-2006, 04:10 PM

Hey Ken, do you remember me telling you and Keith what I wanted to do at the Goodguys show, very similar what he has done here only I think I am sticking with the factory dash instead of changing it out. Unless I really fall in love with one from a different year model.

*72CSTC5* · 10-22-2006, 04:15 PM

As far as mods he cut the cowl panel and molded the lower section of it to the top of the fenders, cut and laid the windshield post back and welded it solid to the cowl panel, chopped the windshield frame down a couple of inches, cut and capped the doors to meet the blazer quarter panels, shaved and molded in the drip rails that were left in the a-pillars, molded the doors to flow in to the dash, shaved and smoothed the firewall, welded the tailgate solid shut, moved in the rear bumper closer to the body. That's about all I can see for now.

brad2 · 10-22-2006, 06:39 PM

Unless it has a had a total make over that is not the Blazer some of you think it is. Mike King built the one that would have been featured way back when. I have actually seen a pic or two of it this year at a Goodguys show so I doubt this is it. The Mike King Blazer was only a two seater.

Bob Moore · 10-22-2006, 07:25 PM

Also removed the wipers. Wouldn't work around the rainy NW. Must be a trailer queen.
