More interior shots.  Carpet and billet pieces. The front seats are out of a 1994 Extended cab Chey and the rear seat is from a 1990 Suburban.

Well I now have a task ahead of me for the Blazer. While driving on Saturday my engine compartment caught fire and burnt all the engines wiring, plug wires and AC box. I don't know where it started just yet cause I'm too mad to even look at it.. Going to start to tear it apart on the weekend and go from there.

     Sorry to hear about the engine compartment fire.  The only way to look at something like that is when you are done, your engine compartment will have all new wiring and be all freshened up and look pretty.

Love the interior, atleast u didnt loose the entire truck in the fire! saw this one in a local junk yard that some one had just rebuilt from the looks of it and had an engine fire that got in to the cab and the whole thing pretty much went up in flames from the looks of it!  :(

       Now that looks ugly.  I am a big fan of doing something the right way to avoid a situation like that, wiring can cause all kinds of problems if you don't do it right the first time.   :'(

Got it runnig again today! I swapped out the harness and it fired right up. I think it was caused by the tranny heating up and spitting the fluid out onto the manifold. I might be into a tranny swap but going to try a filter and fluid first.

     Did you have a line burst on your tranny ?  How did you figure the fluid spit out on the manifold.

There was fluid on the intake, valve covers and the manifold was all black. I checked the fluid while it was running and added some to top it off. There was no leaks while it was running.

Tranny's toast. Picked up another one and had it rebuilt. Will be installing it this weekend.
