Same. I wish there more shows like this on TV or on KZread. I know Stacey David is still doing a show and it's basically the same show except more than Trucks. Everyone is trying to make the next Top Gear, but we need more shows like this.

I did the same damn thing

I have an 88 Blazer overlander project and whenever I'm running low on motivation to continue the build, I come back and watch this series. By the end of episode 6 I'm always itching to get back in the garage

Wow, this is a blast from the past! Love me some K5 Blazer

I had a 78 did so much work on it back in the day , I miss it so much was in college at the time had to sell it

Freaking trucks back then we’re HUGE !

Stacy David is an American treasure.

Vhs tapes in the promo near the end really dates this show.

This series is why I bought a rust free 87 Jimmy with zero rust and only 70k in October of 2000 when I was 19. Only paid $4500 back then. Sold it in 2005. Wish I still had it. Black with the grey interior

Nah that's his real hair. You can tell cause it's thinning up front.

Can't believe you screwed holes for that bed top on the side of that nice original blazer why wouldn't you make some brackets to bolt into the original holes where the top goes or call soft oper and get a nicer one

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏

Love that mother in law comment!

Great work! Except for the seat covers! What the heck... obnoxious as could be. Ah well. seems like a good product just needs a classy color. I'll check their site.

You know that Blazer really doesn't look bad from my view, but I can't wait to see what you 2 master mechanics do with this Blazer. I really envy you guys

My 85 k5 pulled my friend out of 5 feet of snow in his western star tractor trailer

I wouldn't use a soft top on BIG BLAZE because it would be very easy to break into, but I love the seats and carpet

Paintucation? That's Kevin Tetz! He also hosted Trucks! Small world ;-)

I have a 77 Blazer that is a good start to restoration and am wondering if y'all do project trucks like this for your show?

Up next on Trucks!, we're gonna see what we can do next to make "Big Blaze" look like shit

Soft top is a lot easier to remove by yourself. I had a soft top on my 81 k5, the rear window was a bowtie. It didn't have the rear now, it went from the rear of the to the top of the tailgate.

😅 why did they intentionally make that thing hideous?

Why not strip metal to bare metal no rust and paint it with rust-oleum

The paint stinks for a few days then it doesn't fumes any more

I hate those vynal tops on Blazers. I'd much rather had the original top painted like the rest of the truck.

Mel sounds like he has allergies or a cold...

Those seat covers are FN terrible.

That top looks cheap and the mounting technique is horrible. Softopper makes a much more superior product with a much better engineered mounting solution.

The soft top is gross.

Interior color sucks brah

The windshield looked cracked as well

The problem with the soft top is anyone with a knife can take your things pretty fast

been waiting 12 years to see something with gunpowder, whats with the name

The soft top is waterproof, but not knife proof

85 Chevy stepside

Looks like you need a new windshield
