What was the inspiration?
well it began when i was about 15yrs old, i was taken to a car show and saw some of the coolest rides ever. but there was one that jumped out at me, and that was the square body S10 blazer. ever since then i had a thought that i wanted to make me a cool ride, and it would be a square body s10 blazer.

Vehicle history
truck was originally built in Florida , before i was able to get the truck in my posession. once it was in my hands i immediately added the 2 inch cowl induction hood, and added some green on top, and left black on bottom. drove this truck around alot enjoying how it rode, dragged this thing everywhere i went lol. in 2006 it was stolen from me, but luckily i found it almost 3 years later in 2009 sittin behind a shop in Fairburn Ga up on 4 wheels stacked up, it was a very sad site to see. they had stolen everything it was just a carcus, no front end, no wheels, air bags all the way around was gone no dash or interior. i cried when i saw it, but was so happy that it was found. This is when i started the rebuild of BLZATRK !!!!! it was a complete rebuild, and you see what it is today.
