     That is a great start, my wife is bugging me to do a 73 - 75 blazer for her.  She wants a stick shift though, they are harder to find that are in decent shape and the owner doesn't think they are made of some precious metal.

     That engine sure makes it look like a truck again, it is colorful and looks good sitting there.
