Title: 1986 shortbox 2WD or 1988 Blazer 4x4
Post by: chronos on May 27, 2009, 02:31:45 pm

Hi all , got two trucks , not sure which one to do up??
The 86 never lets me down , has some typical rust issues , 305 HO rebulit 350 trans...lots of new parts.
Blazer is really rough underneath ,body itself is actually pretty good, does run, everything works,engine is tired , its loaded and 4x4 which would be nice , also TBI.
Any advise / suggesstions?
What will I be able to swap either way
Leaning towards the 86 and swittiching over the tbi , tank from the blazer??
Thanks in advance

hard choice, If you need the utility factor go with the Blazer...

Drive the 86, and fix up the Blazer. Then drive the blazer, and fix up the 86. Too many times I have taken a good runner out of commision to fix it up, and then wish I could drive it for some reason. I bought my red truck so I would have something to drive that was cool until I got my tan truck finished, Of course that was before the dually, so I will have two projects going at one time, but I can still cruise the red one.
  Id leave the F.I. on the blazer. It will come in handy of the 4x4.
