OMG! This has to be one of the baddest trucks EVER! I'm sooo in love with this whole truck!

SUPER CLEAN PAINT!

That grille never came on the 2 door Blazers...that's a 90-91 Sub/dually front clip. It's quite a popular swap--they're the Escalade clips swaps of the 90s.

That grille was available on the K5s from 89-91.

Just a billet grille would have made it look so much better up front. It is a clean truck though, and there is a lot of work invested into making that suburban roof mold into the body.

Man that gives me some inspiration. I wonder how the LS1 gets that tank moving. When I was planning my swap most of the people I talked to said the 6.0 would be a better choice over the LS1 for a K5 due to the better torque curve. I sure would like to have the weight loss of the LS1 though.
