Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Right? It's era correct but your truck is way pristine - it does the clean OEM look way better than any original mid 80's truck I've seen in a while. If you're thinking about it, you're probably feeling the same way to some degree. For a guy that was driving when these are new, it's very hard to believe, but those old school center brush guards are somewhat rare now. You shouldn't have any problem turning it for a buck if you decide to remove it.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
its not good for anything other than an attachment point for additional lighting and adding more chrome to polish. unless you really need the fog lights i say take it off. if you need extra protection on the front end save up and get a good aftermarket bumper with a heavy duty grill guard. i'm more of a function over form person when it comes to a 4wd vehicle though.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
Took these this morning without the pushbar. I think it looks cleaner without it and my tow hooks arent covered by it either. Who likes my backglass? lol

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
I liked the push guard, but I'm old. I'd at least put bumper guards on it, I like those also. And a hood emblem, I gotta have a hood emblem on a square.
