I wasn't exactly sure where to put this since I didnt see a gallery section and it seems like the photo gallery isnt working. Please move to the appropriate section.

This is the slow goings of my 1986 s10 Blazer 2.8L. I have BIG plans for this guy, but low funding is hindering a lot of it. herre is a short list of future goals.

350 swap
solid front axle swap
2" body lift
2" suspension lift
33" tires
complete black interior
roof rack with spare tire carrier
crash bar with brush guards
offroading lights all around
winch
repaint the entire vehicle fire engine red with black bed liner rocker panels
truck bed lining on entire floor instead of carpet
black ABS headliner
custom center console

Ive begun a little of the work. Converting the interior from blue to black seems to be the easiest and most wallet friendly, along with the bed liner coating on the floor. Here are some progress pics.


isnt it amazing what a little wax and elbow grease will do to a paints finish?


badly oxidized


prepping for bed liner


still prepping for bed liner. This is the original color of the truck. I think it is much better than that
ugly baby blue color it is now.




back section of bed liner finished




drivers side bed liner finished


began painting some of the interior pieces black. Im using a black plastic paint made by krylon


blue side


mostly black side.

Thats it so far. I will be updating this thread for the years to come with all my new pics.

 

Awesome, what ever happened to the audio build-up?

 

Looking good, any pics farther away of the whole outside of the truck?

 

the audio build was put on hold for a while. I had a lot of other projects to do. Once I get the interior "swap" finished I should be able to start that up again. I will take a pic of the entire truck tomorrow.

 

What kind ofbed liner did you use?

 

That is the duplicolor bedliner. I got the first gallon and the roller kit for free.

 

Awesome! I love to see DIY's.

 

Here is the pic of the entire blazer. Dont mind the mess. Its jsut proof that Im working on it :P


Here is the most recent pic of the drivers side blue to black conversion progress.



Anyone have a clue what this electrical connection is supposed to be wired to and what its for?

 

^^^ ANYONE?

 

That thing is supposed to go on the shock and then the plug connects onto it. Look at the other end of the shock and it should have a similar setup. It's for the defrost on the back window.
