I just did my '95 S10 Blazer awhile ago and like it alot. Feel free to see my project thread. I took everything off except the chrome wheel archs. It is so rusty behind there so just leaving it on until I have the money to repaint and body work. By the way, like your truck and it look alot better when it debadge.

That will look great. I have to sand most of my stuffs when I debadge because of rust and peeled paint but it good enough until I find somebody to paint it and save up the money for it. I know that the holes in the side of the rear bumper where the clips was for the trim, I am going to put red LEDS trailer light on them.

See on my Blazer it came factory without any chrome trim. Even the trim by the rocker panels matches the vehicle color
But it came with some pinstriping that had tears in it. I pulled that off a while back using a hairdryer but it left a kind of glue residue left on the white paint. Still trying to remove that.

find an auto advance and get a rubber wheel it just attachs to any electric or air drill like this
Buy 3M Scotch Brite 4" Molding Adhesive and Stripe Removal Disc MMM7501 at Advance Auto Parts

as long as you dont sit in the same spot forever and burn your paint it works AWSOME!!

Take the chrome wheel arches off and just leave them off. They hold dirt and salt and create rust
