4 square#1 pick, round suck

4 square #1 pick, Like 91 too. Dislike round eyes, and really don't like vertical reflectors for some reason.:confused:
 
I like my grill the best, why isn't there an option for my truck?

My favorites the 73-78 without the chrome bezel around the turn signal. a very very close second would be the very common 80's one with the quad headlights with the body color inserts like a couple that have been posted. 85-88 I think.
 
73-75 (?) with the stock eggcrate grille and then the 88-91 with the quad headlights, though on the 88-91 I like the stock GMC grille and think the Chevy looks better with a billet grille

Hence when I build my other blazer it will have the 73 front clip with the stock grille and my crew cab is getting the nose from a 89 burb and eventually it will have a billet grille
 
80 doesn't count but that option got my vote. Squarish round headlights are icky.
 
I'm definately partial to the 89-91 front clip with the quad headlights.
 
I totally dig the look of the 75-78 front ends. Never really cared for the recessed grills on the 73-74's. The one piece head light bucket/turn signal bezel on the 79-80 just looks like a huge glob on the front end. I really dislike the 81-91's, sorry but square head lights just look like crap.
I'll go one step further. One of these days I would love to find myself a 91 Blazer and replace the entire front wrap with one from a mid 70's. Now that would kick ass.
 
Wow a ton of people bashing the year I chose, and the year I prefer, 1980. May not be the best year, but it is the most unique. And it is mine!
 
Mine is Silverado, that was one of the requirements I had when looking. My truck has every option I wanted, and none that I didn't. That includes no power windows or locks, but it has cruise and A/C:wink1:.
 
I like my 86 Silverado grill and lights best, but the hood and fenders of the 73-80. My 79 looks tough, but the Silvey just looks clean. side by side square headlights do not look right IMO.
 
I like the 4 headlights with the parking lights in the front bumper. Think is was the '81 to '82 models.

It is, but the four stacked headlights was an option. You could also get a single headlight in '81 - '82, but the turn signals were still in the bumper.

73-79 or round 80 is better imo, 67-72 are the ones with looks. I would never get an 81-91 front clip, just don't like any styling they did in the 80's don't even like the squared off dashes or fuel doors either, square headlights don't bring that classic look imo and they came and went for a reason...not to mention the horizontal squared off marker light on the fender, just bulky...The best front clip is the 68 gmc...My 79 gmc clip w/ a chrome round tube grill painted black and 74 headlamp bezels and amber turn lenses is growing on me...Id get an 80 but has to have round headlamps...
 
I like all those that somewhat still look like the factory made them.

Let me tell you, sometime it's difficult to shoot photos for "Blazer" Bash when trucks are all hacked to pieces, sucked in/dovetailed, and whatever sheetmetal is left is crumpled beyond any potential for brand recognition :D
