Re: 73-87 4x4s
Blazers are cool to build, I had 2 so far an older mid 70's with round headlights and an 86 both nice trucks that were great for when my kids we little so all 4 of us could ride together as a family, now they are bigger and drive themselves so went back to a 1 ton with a bed so can haul whatever.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
The pics right after a wash make it look way better than it is. It is super straight with quite a bit of rust. Bought it from a farmer that had a sprayer in the back for most of its life. It was a 350 4 spd, np 205, 4.10 gearing. I swapped in a 383 I had built for another truck and never used it. Pretty mild right now. It came from factory with A/C, tilt and tach. I'm thinking of getting some skinnier mudders like q78x 16s and going back to the original steel rims. This is just a toy that use around the farm a bit and have some fun with. I'm down in south Saskatchewan

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Well still sounds like a good useful truck the way it is, body and paint are always better from a distance, haha. The tires and rims make a big difference in the truck, like the way it sits now, I run a 38.5/14.50/17 but was looking at a 41.5/13.50/17 Pitbull rocker, but see what time brings and cash of course, enjoy your truck.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
x2, you already got some great help there, yep a little brazing rod and a propane torch and you can braze that easy, lower the rad coolant first it actually has fumes that can burn slightly, no big deal and make sure it is clean, a bit of sandpaper lightly and a bit of brake cleaner on both. The column is a bit of a job but can always get help or a used one if you can't figure it out.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Thanks Mud.Man. I fixed the Rad with a small bolt for a tv wire and two small nuts. Then I'll try to work on the pvc mold next week and finish it up with the steering wheel and new locking key.

Re: 73-87 4x4s
Oh a 16 rim will fit a 16.5" tire easy but will fit too loose and leak, have to match size on size exactly. Maybe you can trade one of the two for something that will fit. Maybe at an autowrecker.
