This is going to chronicle the build of my newly acquired 85 4X4 s 10 blazer. The first things on the list are a new paint job after the engine gets rebuilt.

First thing I did though, was replace the worn door pin bushings


pics of my truck the first day I got it:

 

pins and bushings to go in...i already had 2 new ones I had left over from the 93.....no pics tho....the 20 bux spent, and half an hour labor was way worth it. Just have someone help you. i used a jack, and my little brother when he got home from school


passenger side before pins and bushings installed




passenger side after fix.....its too close to tell, but I DON'T have to lift and slam the door anymore



drivers side before the install



drivers side, after

 

Nice, looks like you got the truck you wanted, nice rims on it too.

 

Looks good, and good for you on fixing the pins before they got any worse. I probably have you beat on slowest build though :P

 

i was cleaning it out a little bit, and found this...a brand new, never been driven on, original spare It was flat of course, so I added air, ran soapy water over it, and no leaks....

 

took the center console/shifter out today....I HATE SMOKERS, especially the ones that flick their ashes everywhere BUT the ashtray...






then I took the home made reciever off:




because THIS looked uber safe






THESE are coming out ASAP

 

the console after a LONG soak in HOT water...i still need to shine it up with meguires natural shine

 

Looks good, good before/after pics! Those doors can be a real pain!

 

what engine are you going to go with? I consider the 2.8 a boat anchor.

 

im lookin at a 89 camaro 2.8......if not, Ill be swapping in a 4.3 but Ill prolly have to get the wiring and computer too....hmmm...my dad wants a 350 sbc in it.....I do too but my wallet doesnt like taht idea much haha
