Catch you there, Steve! ?

Look to be Mercury Cougar wheels. From the MPC '71-'73 kits.

They're in this kit.

The console is a seperate piece. The only other kit with the bench seat was the Hardcastle & McCormick GMC.

Thanks! ?

How about some 22.5 truck wheels that I can't seem to find in scale? I can't find good pictures of the Volvo one but the Kenworth one is easy to find...

Oh, oh, this one too! ?

Um.... ?

That would be a reasonable assumption.

Several different colors in the chassis were used up until the early 90s by which point they switched to a uniform light grey across the board. The engine would be a Ford design of 358ci but are usually built by a specialty shop or in house by the biggest teams.

Were they actual sleeper cabs, though? PACCAR and DTNA offer small sleeper looking extensions that are extra storage. Very common for logging, scrap metal haulers, etc around these parts.

The Packard chassis is probably beefier...!

Kootenay 3D Model Parts does Budd wheels too. I know he does them to fit Italeri tires, not sure what else they fit.

You still need the dummy transfer case from the Explorer, though. ?

The front of the roof where it meets the cab is almost square on the Blazer while the Bronco has a curve to it. The tumblehome on both trucks is different from the other, too. But anything's possible...

No, but it was a sweatbox in the back seat. Black, giant fixed windows, no AC... ?

There is a seller on eBay that does a printed Bronco II body. Would need a lot of work to make a proper vehicle out of it, though. The curved rear windows would be fun. Use the AMT Ranger or Explorer kits as a donor. I've been seriously considering getting it as I grew up in an '88 Bronco II. ?

Although they might not be entirely correct, the seats from both the Bronco and Ramcharger kits fit in the Blazer interior. And vice versa. Ask the parts from the '76 K10 fit the Blazer body.

Yes please!

The correct colour for the chassis is Tamiya AS-20 insignia white.

I don't anymore and SEL discontinued them... ?

The frame would need to be stretched for a pickup wheelbase. The Blazer is shorter then the short bed trucks.

Realistically, if you don't plan to remove the roof for display I've found it is best to glue it on to get it straight. Also worth noting is that the hinges for the rear hatch aren't the greatest. I find them oversized and fragile. I've done the same firewall modifications and completely swapped out the engines. The kits block is just too funny to make look right and the SM465 looks better with a 1:24 engine, IMO. https://public.fotki.com/fabrux/blazerjimmy/
