i was thinkin of this:
white '73 chevy blazer
new lift kit/suspension
mudding tires

should i do anything to the engine or no? im debating on whether or not i should just keep that all stock.

write about an old k5 blazer....all the mods you said sound nice. If you need specifics you should try a 6" ProComp lift, Super Swamper 35" tires, scrape plates,new rear end, sweet sound system...possibly a couple 12's, o yea.....and a beefed up small block 350

as far as the history lesson part of the report....did you know that blazers were the predasesors of the hummer in the military?...the K5 had a military prototype the was used exclusively in the army...until the hummer.....I thought it was pretty neat bit of information....

do u need any types of unusual tools for most of these mods that u would not find in ur good ol' tool cabinet/box?
