Almost exactly what I would do.  (Might replace the missing lenses and go for new tyres...)  I love an old Cadillac looking a bit disreputable.  That one looks like the first time Arnie sees Christine!  I clicked on the listing, looked at the pics, and had to click off again in case I did something really stupid.  I'm in love.

 

It is in particular the tyres I would not change under any circumstances.

Those grandpa spec knobbly Winter 8plies on the back are to die for!

I'm pretty ignorant about such matters but why would it be a attractive feature to have a dually axle on a Blazer?

More traction for towing or summat?

 

That dually axle is just stupid and best replaced with a standard 12 bolt, which shouldn't be too out of this world to source still.

I don't really want to know how a SWB car like this handles with the dually, I also don't understand how a severe alteration like this does not effect the legality of operating it on public roads, but that is actually a good thing as a general principle. But I fully approve of fitting these with 454 rat motors.

Haha, yes, they do add to the look, don't they?  I'd be a bit concerned about their age though, so maybe a like-for-like spec applies.  It does very much look like it would have done when Huggy was new, which I like a lot.

I love the fact they CBA to get out of the car to photograph it.

 

FYI - these are not all that solid. The little cubicles inside all have piss tubes. Some were made with escape hatches on the roof and they leak like a sieve.

 

I'd rather have a dose of crabs than turn one of these into a camper van. At least I know I could rid myself of the crabs.
