It will most likely have a 6.0L in it when the drop member goes in.

Well the wheels won't be staying on this truck since it will be 2WD...

Grim, it will be painted the same Dark Blue Metallic over Silver like factory, but will have the break Line like the attached pic, with an Orange pinstripe like factory.

Between now and the last post we had a tornado come through.  Luckily my family was safe.  Unfortunately the good hood I got took on some new damage.  Although the body guys got it fixed.

Saturday, Jun 11th 2011: brought the Blazer home and posed it for it last outside as a 4x4 shots.
Presured washed the underside and degreased everything as best as possible.  Going to start stripping it down to get the Porterbuilt under it..
