Looking at the grey and white blazer, it appears to have the correct bumper profile for the year, I guess I've just never run across one with that option. I've seen the later blazers/suburbans with them, just never noticed any round eyes before.



Yeah, blue with the white inset was common, but yours is the first i've seen with the colors reversed. I like it. Looks factory, but stands out because it's different.

I’ve been debating on going all white on the repaint. Or do blue again but do the blue on the roof too. Like so:

That truck ^ looks cool :imo:
All white would SUCK in comparison.

That’s what I’ve been leaning toward too. It’s nice to have it parked in the hangar so I can contemplate it all day.

I like this color blue with the off white headliner so I’m almost thinking the Hawaii Blue or Hawaiian Blue. Whatever it’s called. I think it’s lighter than the blue that on the truck now.

I don't believe I've ever seen a round eye, with the black rub strip on the bumper. It almost makes me think it's aftermarket.

Factory, but not common anymore. I think '77 was the first year for the option too. I think the late 70's Chevy Sport fleetsides all had them too, on their body-colored bumpers.

Doesn't @bucket have a '79 Camaro?
Wish I had one....

Lol, yep. And big crew cab truck too. I must be compensating I guess :rofl:

I think you’ve followed a little bit of the Camaro discussion so you know the possibilities. When enough of us get crew cabs and Camaros we can start our own forum. It’s going to be nothing but cool **** from beginning to end.

Are you saying he may not be Z28 material?

Oh he’s worthy anyone that collects Celebritys is Z28 worthy. Lol I meant he may not fully comprehend the full joy of blairing REO Speedwagon out of a Pioneer Supertuner 3 backed up with a pair of 3 way 6x9 mounted in shoeboxes stuffed with rags. That’s all.
