I am building a 78 blazer 2 wd with a little lowering to pull the hydro, will probably paint to match eventually, 90 front clip 89 fuel tbi 5.7 and 700r4, will post a pic when i get it in primer and a hitch to hook it to the boat, Whatcha got, post a pic of your full size blazer or jimmy square body !!!
I have a 1985 Chevy C-10 shortbed with Air Suspension and red with flames, full custom interior etc. These are very cool body styles and take well to customizing. Mine was on the cover of Truckin' magazine about a year ago and is a full blown show winner. I also plan to do a K5 2wd in the future. very slick little trucks. If you need any advice on your project I am the Editor at StreetTrucks Magazine and can help recommend parts and builders.
I had a'73 K-5 4x4 when I was in high school. It was a blast. Full convertable top. 383 stroker with a turbo 350 on 33's with 4:10 gears. I'll have to find some pics of it and scan them in.

If i were to have a one purpose 4x4 thats probably the exact truck id use. very nice

Jordy they had digital cameras when you were in high school :) :220v:
Tahiti jet- Steve is it? This is Travis formerly of Truckin' mag and now editor of StreetTrucks. We met at the classic boat beach bash a few years ago. anyways give me a call when the Blazer and truck are complete. I would love to roll them in front of my camera. my number is 714-939-9991 x350. My '85 C-10 is For Sale if you know anyone looking for a turn key show truck that was a magazine project and has been in the limelight.
Thanks for the response and keep em coming, i dig the way tricked out lowriders, but not to feesible with our roads here in oklahoma and living in the country. I want to lower mine some and maybe you can help, I was thinking 3 inch lowering coil (cheap!!!) for the front, and i will need around 4 inch in the rear, but being a blazer there seems to be no room for a front hanger to postion the front of the rear spring higher, i was thinking of flipping the rear, but how low will that put it, (the thickness of the rear acxle tube, right ? ? ?) That would be the cheapest, but i dont want it too low, i like tire sidewall, so i bought some used 18 and now have 255/55 18 front, 285 55 18 rear. Oh yeah here is the truck i built to pull it last year from a 2 wd converted to a 4 wheel drive, but it looked stupid pulling a hydro, (and i painted my boat so i didnt want the rock chips) so i went to hill climbing, flipped it and broke a leg, so im out on the 4wd, and using the goodies on the blazer
