This is my 1978 Chevy Blazer with a pickup cab conversion. It is a rock solid plow truck, but just needed a bit of cosmetic work. It has a 350 and the NP203 full time case. Runs beautiful, and is great to plow with because it turns on a dime. I bought new panels for it a few weeks ago, since they are cheaper than trying to fix up the existing ones. Total cost was $450 for the panels. The paint I did myself, and costed me about $200. Decals should be put on later this week, and I will post a few pics once they are on. I think it looks a lot better, and at least now it matches the rest of the "fleet".

Another before. The drivers door had a huge crease down it due to me backing into the bobcat with the door open..:rolleyes:

Heres a night shot of the new paint, the bumper is getting replaced so I don't care about the overspray. As soon as the decals are on I'll take a few day shots.
