gettin a blazer now
well my original plan was to sell the k5 s**tbox and get an astro as a daily driver/dragger. but i guess these are getting pretty rare. so i found a couple of old body style s10 blazers in my area for cheap and i was wondering what to look out for. i know you 1st gen blazer owners may have some tips for me on what to pay close attention to when i go look at them. such as areas that rot on all of them, certain leaks, or any problem areas these trucks known for. i know the 2nd gens inside and out, but ive never had experience with a first. thanks fellas. drag on!

nevermind. we just got a 97 2 door 4wd 80.000 miles traded in at my dealership and my boss is hookin me up for 2g's. id say thats a pretty sweet deal! and its been serviced at my shop so i know its been maintained great. plus it was a little old ladys so it wasnt beat on. the only problem is its way too tall...not for long[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Yeah I have buddy here in town that has a ZX2. He's got a wall with 4 15's in the back, bags/cylinders, lambo doors, it's pretty sweet for an Escort, lol.
Keep us updated on the Escort and the Blazer. I know this is a Blazer forum but I'm kinda interested in the Escort buildup too, lol

holy ****, that sounds sweet! ask him if it was tough to mount the cylinders? i have 0 experience with them, and no clue what needs to be done. im gonna try to use the stock upper mount and fab up a lower, but i don't know what to expect. you got to get a picture of that thing! and i promised myself that i wouldn't do anything to the blazer till i get the escort and sonoma done...but its going to be hard to resist. mabye i can just crank down the torsion bars and throw some blocks in the rear to get my by for now...
