1/2 ton status
1989 Chevy K5 Blazer Silverado
This is my baby and I hate to sell her, but I’m only driving her when it snows and I’m really sick of being in debt. I bought the truck in April of 2008 and it was pretty much stock. All of the modifications have been done by me and/or Darren Castine at Twizted Engineering. I have most of the receipts for everything that I have purchased for it. When I ripped out both axles to put in the 1 tons, I and ground down the frame, primered it and gave it two coats of undercoating. Most of the parts underneath that are after market have been powder coated a beige color, color code BG-16. The top has never been off and I remove the doors during the summer time. Forest Green Metallic Exterior paint with tan top and interior. I do not NEED to get rid of this truck but I will sell it if the price is right. If you are seriously interested then give me a call with an offer.
Check out the photobucket album with every picture I have from start to finish:
