Real Builder. Real Parts. Zero Doubt.

It started when I was 14, shoveling rock alongside my dad, saving every dollar I made for my first car. I've had grease under my nails ever since. Two decades later I'm a master technician — I've spent my whole adult life learning how things are built, why they fail, and how to do them right the first time.
But this brand didn't start in a shop. It started with a Blazer named Black Beauty, and the worst day my town ever had.
On November 8th, 2018, the Camp Fire tore through Paradise, California and took the whole town with it. Black Beauty was sitting on jack stands in my driveway, freshly loaded with a pile of parts I'd just bought for her. There was no getting her back together in time. We evacuated through a neighborhood already on fire, and I watched my Blazer burn in my own front yard. We lost a lot that day — like so many of my neighbors did.

A couple months later, I started telling people I was hunting for another Blazer — any condition. Word got around. And a man who'd heard my story reached out the same day. He had a diesel K5 sitting in his yard, twelve years untouched. Just sat.
I drove straight out, no questions asked. We got to talking, traded our stories, and loaded up the truck. When I went to hand him the money, he wouldn't take it. Told me it was fine — as long as I promised to enjoy it.
I've kept that promise ever since. That K5 became my proof rig, my test bed, and the heart of this whole thing. Every part I build gets run on my own trucks, through real heat, real cold, and real trails — because if it can't survive my rigs, it's not going on yours.
That's how Blazin' Biddles was born: out of loss, a stranger's kindness, and a refusal to build anything halfway. I started making the parts I wished existed for these trucks — lighted, color-matched door panels that fit like the factory should have, and the kind of clean, honest work I'd want on my own build. No catalog junk. No universal pods. Real parts, built by someone who actually wheels these trucks.

Today, Blazin' Biddles is a family operation — my wife runs the books and keeps the whole thing on the rails, and I build, wrench, and create. We're not a warehouse and we're not trying to be. We're a small shop that takes care of the people who trust us with their trucks, one build at a time.
If you've got a Squarebody and you care about doing it right, you're in the right place. Reach out anytime — you'll always get a real person who actually knows these trucks. Thanks for being part of the story. Now let's build something you're proud to walk out to.
