I bought a 91 Chevy S10 Blazer last month and have been needing a few parts. I found a 91 Oldsmoble Bravada for $200. Is it the same as my Blazer except the Transfer Case? I will be using front steering parts, the front grill clip, steering column, windshield, and some engine parts if the 4.3's are the same. Going to make a Blazer/Bravada. Thanks for any help.

 

In a word, Yes.

 

Ok Thanks for clearing that. I'll be buying it this week and fixing my truck up now.

 

A Bravazer? Should be cool....

The Bravada is more like a upper model Jimmy as far as trim and such go, and should be full-time AWD as per TC you mentioned. If the parts you mentioned are solid, and you can get the whole damn thing for $200, you should have a goldmine on your hands. if you can afford to (even slowly) rebuild the doner engine, you can basically drag another 10 years of life out of your current rig

other wise, once you get what you want, part out anything worth while and drag the carcass to a wrecking yard for the steel salvage cash... you should be able to pull at least 50% of your investment from salvage, plus Craigslist if you have the time = $$$ in your pocket...

 

Yeah dude, thats a score. Bravazer is a sweet project name too! Let us see some photos of it as it comes along.

 

The Bravazer... I think I'll keep that name. I paid $400 for my Blazer and now $200 on the Bravada. I am going to keep the Bravada for parts. It has a blown head gasket and 280k miles on it. My Blazer has 180k miles. Here in Paradise CA Blazer parts are expensive. Thanks for all the help. I'll be posting pics of them once I replace my front wheel barrings and can tow the Deadada to my house.

Yup, essentially the same vehicle.

 

Oh i got it. Hence the ROFLing.
