Old man's 91 b2600 build

I bought the truck completely stock in October, for my sons birthday. He was basically told it was going to be for him but he was going to help clean her up. I'm almost 40 and have built many S-10's back in the 90's. Hoping to get him interested in something and mabye learn a few things. This was shortly after we bought and and put a minor drop on it. Make sure you click on pics for bigger images.

I cut the bumpstops out and and installed new shocks. Isuzu shocks against stock shocks.

I was really happy with the ride but was unhappy with stock wheels and tires rubbing the fenders. New wheels were bought.

bought some Escalade wheels but the clear coat was coming off, so i decided to strip them and polish.



Way better now, but this is were the problems with my son started!

After days of working hard on the wheels and installing a new stereo. The boy was no where to be found. I was not happy! After the wheels were installed I dropped her a little more.

And the truck parked next to my 07 SI

Well two days before his sixteenth birthday, I found him smoking in the house. After his interest being little to none and me catching him smoking, the truck became mine. I was driving it to work and was liking having it to drive, than trashing my new car everyday. Found some Denali wheels and was liking the look better so I put them on and put the eskies on my wifes Tahoe.

That's a clean ass mazda. I'm diggin it. Especially with the denali wheels. Too bad about your son I would have punched someone in the face for a mazda when I was 16

Yeah, the bad thing hes a straight A student and in advanced classes. I think he knows better. I was pretty disappointed because he has always been my buddy and a good kid. I'll find him something else but now he will pay half;)

Started working on bagging it this week. the front was finished. Got to figure out how i want the rear. Dont have a bunch of pics but here you go. Arms cleaned

Spacer added for bottom bag plate.

arms were pie cut to hopefully help with alignment and just incase i want to go with bigger wheels. I'm laying out with 215/45/17 right now.

Got the shocks welded up Thanksgiving day. I'm thankful for a great wife and kids that put up with my crap;).

full lift

full drop

Here is an old pic of my 95 four door blazer. Only pic i could find. It had full air ride, shaved handles, roof rack, rear bumper, mirrors, etc, etc. Couldnt find a pic with the wheels on it.

Looking good man!
