This is AMT's '72 Blazer. I lifted it with parts box leaf springs and blocks. The tires and wheels are from So Real. The paint is Tamiya Mica Red over Italian red and needs polished. I scratchbuilt the cage. The axles are from 2 old funny car kits with aluminum tube to widen them. The front axle has kitbashed tierods etc. Power will be from a bigblock. Hoodscoop is from the partsbox.

don't forget to open the front fenders, or you'll ruin that pretty paint! haha

Nice looking truck. I have been wanting to do one of these for some time, where did you get the kit?

Here is a few shots of the finished chassis. You can see the leaf springs I used, and the shocks are from kit parts and styrene tube painted to look like Rancho shocks. I scratchbuilt a winch and mount for the front end.
