Actually, from what I can tell the fender emblem that is on that truck came out in 1976 and went until 1978...the 1974's and 1975's I have seen have a square emblem...could be wrong though

The previous owner painted those hubcaps. I have a NOS set I will install after I do a few things.

Looks like my 2wd trucks big brother
did you just get that?
That fender emblem was used from '75 through '80 model years.
Craig, what's next for your Blazer? Is yours as complete as you want it? The warmer weather has me itching to get some stuff done...
a close look after washing mine revealed a pretty sub-par paint job...orangepeel, fisheye and overspray, so I have to paint it anyway.

I'd like to get some small spots (spots only I would notice) buffed out of the paint, and I'd also like to get a roller cam into the motor. I already put TrickFlow aluminum heads on it last year. Other than that I just enjoy it every summer.

Yes sir, I needed another project
Is it gonna get the same wheel treatmeant as your jimmy?
Good looking truck!!
Thanks, ya it def needs wider wheels. I might go 8's in front and deep 10's in back...havent made up my mind
2wd looks gooood with 8 and 10 combo i think. just as long as thay are white and take the caps for stock look.
Need to throw an old camper in this pile.....
Offhand, I can't think of any Casa Grandes I've seen with such wheels, but I know of around 4 or 5 Chalets that had these. All others I've seen came with the rallys, or else they have aftermarket ones now. Here's serial #0373, owned by one of our Yahoo forum members.

white is the plan with hubcaps, just need to find one brand/model of tire thats same height for front/narrow rear/wide...preferably 29" tall approx...and decide on backspace so it doesnt rub leafs and doesnt stick out

Here's some:
find a brand you like and go to there web site. thay post the specs there.
vary comon bfg radial ta
235/70/15 = 27.8 tall / 9.3 section width / on 7" rim width
275/60/15 = 28.0 tall / 11.0 section width / on 8" wide tire.
when you put these on wider rim thay will get little shorter.
just a idea for ya. lots of other choices out there.
