Default First Mods on my 87 Blazer K5 project.. before & after pics..

I picked up this 87 Blazer K5 five weeks ago to have as my project. I have been wanting a Blazer for years to have it as a beach truck. Last year I had bought an 84 Blazer but ended up selling it cause it was just going to be way to much to restore cause it was a rust bucket. So this time around I had more patience and looked and looked until I found one with no rust, picked it up about 300 miles away from where I live and drove it back with ease. The guy took real good care of it and always had it parked in his shop Everything is original on it including the paint, and it's rust-free. Next step is going to some 4.56 gears and a paint job. What do you guys think??

Don't like the wheels. The rest is a nice stock blazer and then you've got some bro **** rims on it.

I like the stock rally wheels much better, everything else looks great, love K5s.

thanks for the GOOD comments guys... i personally like the wheels alot, I was really debating wether to try them or not but after seeing them on I like the look, my next step is a paint job that will go even better with the rim/tire setup... the rims are 17s on 35s... I know whem i'm done with it it'll look a whole lot better..
