So I been thinking about going with a new front on the truck. Kinda tired of the Gen II front. So I really been thinking of a 95-97 Blazer grill and a 98+ chrome bumper and painted to match stock valance. I might keep the Cervinis hood I might go with a stock S10 or a Sonoma hood. What do you guys think? My front or the Blazer front? Stock hood or the Cervinis?
What I have...

I definitely like the way the front end in the 2nd pic looks. I like the wheels too.

I never decided if I like the Blazer front end. That is my favorite bumper (2nd pic).
What about a phantom?

Yea I really like the Blazer front too. I only went with the 98+ because I did it in 99 and there wasn't many done if any around here. So at shows people were confused cuz I had the new front and the 94-97 dash.

I don't like the phantoms to much. I have had one on every first gen S10 I have had and I really don't like how they look anymore.

IMO if you go with the Blazer grill switch to the stock S-10 hood.

That white truck is growing on me already........

It has grown on me a lot. My truck will still be the same color that it is now and it will have SS mirrors on it. I am about to order a new grant customs rollpan. Do these S10s need the compound curve rollpans or not? I'm only shaving the drip rails, 3rd brake light (replacing with a LED strip) antenna and tailgate handles.

I have heard yes and no about the compound curve. Just put a straight edge up to the bottom of the gate. If it has a gap you should get the compound curve pan.

It looks the same other then the hood has primer spots on the hood by the hinges where its been refiberglassed. I'll try to take some pics. Now I need to go get a new rear end for the truck AGAIN. We put a new one in a couple of years ago. But it went to **** already. Hell and I barely drive the truck anymore due to a had a Civic that got 36 miles to the gallon before I moved to LA.

I actually live in JC for now. I just moved back from LA. I will only be in JC for a bit and then its back to Manhattan. Thought about buying a cheap house in Wamego or something. I dunno yet.

And what you guys think a Noma hood would look like on the Blazer front?

Last I knew, you had tree trouble with the Cervinis hood.
How about a recent pic? That one you posted is 3-4 years old.

Here is a pic Dan. Trucks really dirty. Haven't really had time to clean her up and polish the wheels since the ****ty 28 hour drive back from Cali. There is a primer spot on both sides of the hood like that. And yes I know my mirror is broke thats what happens when a semi blows a tire beside you while your in a Penske truck with a S10 on a trailer. I'm just glad thats all that messed up.

Actually that was a truck that I was given for FREE!!! Due to they couldn't get it to run. Well it had a blown head gasket with a 2.5 I still had a rebuild kit for it due to my old 91 that I bought. So I rebuilt the motor noticed the pipe that went under the transmission was crushed so I put a new one of those on then gave it to my dad. So he wouldn't have to drive the 86 full size every day with a 383 in it with this gas price. That one is just a 88 long bed.

Great looking truck. Thats the almost the exact look I'm going for except stock hood and a 98+ bumper and that valance for a 98+
