Hello
I've owned more square body trucks/Blazers than I can remember but haven't had one for many years. Picked up an 84 SBC Silverado on Monday but it's sitting at my brother's place in Mesa AZ for now. Pretty solid AZ truck with zero rust but will need a bit of a refresh. It's a 305/350 truck according to the tag on the fender but currently has a 700r. Had drop spindles and a drop kit in the rear installed before i bought it along with need wheels and tires. Kind of a nice stance. Hoping to get it painted by my nephew before I bring it home.
So this was a "deluxe" two tone with white and dark blue but the interior paint is white, kind of doesn't make sense as I would have expected blue paint inside with the deluxe paint scheme.
Thanks for the add.
Bill "Fleet"

Welcome Aboard !!! Now that's how you make an entrance. A bit of history about the past, then a brief description on the current and a pic. That's how an Intro is done. Sweet Lookin' Ride for Sure. I don't even mind those wheels. The truck just looks right. Maybe a 2/4 Lowering Kit??? Merry Christmas from GMSB.

Thanks, I'm no stranger to forums, I'm on a few for different vehicles and 2A stuff. The truck will share space with my LS3 70 Camaro.
Retiring in a few months and wanted another toy to mess with and share with my son. Hoping to learn from some experts on here.
