My big boy toys
« on: January 12, 2011, 09:10:46 pm »
New to the forums so I thought I would show you all what i got what i plan to do with them.

This is from what I was told a 1978 Suburban 4x4 with a 1985 2 wheel drive body that came from Arizona. She has a 4 inch suspension lift with 33 inch tires. There is 2,139 miles on a rebuilt drive train, but she sat in a guys storage for the last five years so it needs a few things like the carb rebuilt and so on. The inside is in great shape with no missing pieces and only one split seam in the drivers seat. I just got it about a week ago after selling my Corvette and is my next project. This spring she will be getting a new orange paint job with all the chrome being powder coated black and a black and orange custom interior.  Best part I only paid $1500 for it which leaves me plenty of money from my Corvettes sale to get a lot of the stuff Im going to need for it in spring.


This is my baby, she is a 1978 k5 Blazer. She has a mild built gear driven 350/350 combo with a 6 inch suspension lift and 35 inch Pro Comps wrapped around American Racing rims. She has a D44 up front and a corp 12 bolt in the rear. The interior is part custom with plenty of billet accents. The front bench set was pulled out of a 2000 Silverado and the rear seat out of a 2000 Chevy Venture mini van. She is my first project and my pride and joy. I have taken her in places most wouldn't dare and made it back to brag about it.

     That blazer looks awfully clean to be a mud truck.. ;D

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

I try to keep it looking good and it never sits in its own dirt to long. She loves the mud and its hard to not drive trough corn fields on a rainy day :P

And here are a few more shots of my new Suburban.
