Any good junkyard mods for a Blazer?

The 2nd gens are the biggest difference I believe. The chevy hoods have a "peak" in the middle of the hood where as the GMC's have two "valleys" in the hood that line up with the headlight symmetry. I personally like the GMC hoods much better but I don't think there is anything wrong with the Chevy hoods. You can see pics of both on my truck in my build thread.

Not necessarily at the junk yard but the throttle blade mod is a good one, and is also free.
