Don't expect a creampuff resto either haha this truck is getting fixed to be driven so the Blazer can be rehabbed :rofl:
Wow did plans change. The Blazer got sold for $300 after blowing the trans and intake gasket all in one shot and is now half rotted away being beat to death by a 16 year old kid

Mother nature decided to sucker punch me the other night by having the snow start two hours early (had planned on being home before) and have it come down as a blizzard of handful sized clumps of wet snow that had the roadways covered in ten minutes. Wouldn't have been too bad if I hadn't already removed the winter weight from the bed. It was 70 degrees and sunny only two days before lol

I'm not sure how I feel, on one hand, I'd kill for some snow like that, on the other hand, I really like not freezing my nuts off working at night.
Were you able to get home or to your destination in good shape?
Just looked through the thread and your truck looks amazing! I think this truck would be the perfect candidate for some for of a low-lift SAS; but then again, that's what I think with every 1/2 ton 2WD,

I made it but the hills up to my house were not being friendly another inch or two and I might've been in deep crap. Pictures can hide a thousand dents :lol: it is rust free but I think I'd rather start off with a 4X4 2500
