96 ZR2... Vader?
 

I have the 04 Stormtrooper Blazer, which the fuel pump has been acting up on. It just died the same day I brought home my new truck, a 1996 ZR2 plow truck.

I'm torn between calling it Vader or Rusty.

I don't have a lot of bodywork experience, but someone I know said he would teach me to weld, so this is going to be a project. I'm sure I'll have some opportunities to practice fiberglass too. I'm not expecting to make this into a show truck, but I do want to fix it up to look nice.

The truck has 82k on a crate motor, 141k on the body, a dealer-installed Fisher 6'9 plow, and I bought it from the original owner. The truck has a few issues that need to be addressed, and I may need help from the forum here.

Hes gonna be sweet... I would go with Vader lol, if you call him rusty, he won't be rusty after all the body work is finished.

I'm loving that sun visor too... been searching for two years for one to come across, but no luck so far. Might go with new if I come across the money...

Yeah, I always liked those Lund visors.
I am also looking at getting a ZR2 pickup... :icon_playing:
Going to be a fun project.
Vader it is. All hail Lord Vader!!

Lord Vader, haha. I like it!

The visor is cool, but only one light works so I gotta figure out how to change the bulbs... if I can.

Got my new rims painted up, hopefully they'll be getting wrapped in rubber this coming week!

A few days ago I threw on my headache rack that I had from an older ZR2.

Looks good. Gives it a zombie killer look.

I like that yellow/black striping ;)

Thanks :)

New wheels!
