Truck is lookin' good!

ok so i know its not a camaro or a muscle car, but i really wanted to show off what i did to my truck I just needed a truck for winter, and when i need to haul more stuff than my camaro can carry lol I got it for $300 from a friend who beat the crap out of it, dents everywhere, 4x4 not working, only running on 4(out of 6) cylinders. but i popped most of those dents out, replaced a wire to fix the 4x4, and got it running on all cylinders again(it has the 4.3 vortec v6). When i got it, it just looked like rusted, 18 year old truck that was all stock. not anymore!!

Current mods-
painted black wheels
painted blue brake calipers & drums
nose logo painted black with blue outline
XL brushguard with working offroad lights
custom monostripe
center of door handles painted blue
CHEVROLET sticker(yes a sticker is a mod )
bumper stickers galore(haha)

Future mods-
bigger rims/tires(also painted black)
4" lift
light rack on roof
blue painted BLAZER logos on the side
possible side stripe(???)

i did all of this work by myself, but a friend did help with the painting stuff. haha i know its still not anything super-special, but im not quite as embarrassed to drive it anymore

p.s. make sure you take a close look at the sticker on the rear window, right hand side

The "Fender" sticker is what makes it run!

Oh and the Camaro5 one isn't too shabby, either.

my favorite kind of trucks are the big k5 blazers. i actually owned one for like a day, but had to sell it cuz there were too many basic things wrong with it but my friend wanted to sell this one, so i got it cheap lol. & yeah id love to throw a v8 in there, but that is a giant v6, its got about 200 hp. pretty damn good for a v6 lol.

My last S10 I had was a reg cab short box and I had a 400 sbc in it with a t56 6-spd manual. Little over 400 hp about 450 tq. That truck was wild. So much fun haha.

haha i know right?? The stripe was the thing i was worried about the most, whether it would look good or not. but i didnt really care all that much what happens to this as long as she runs lol. and it turned out looking awesome!! next im thinking i might try some kind of stripes on the side... any ideas on what might look good? my color scheme for this truck is obviously white and black, and also blue. like the color i painted the brakes lol.
