I have a pile of crap here waiting to go on

plus I have an Envoy 3rd brake light coming (should be here tomorrow), My receiver shackle is being drilled and milled to fit by a shop right now for the rear, I need to order the quick fists to mount my shovel, considering a tire carrier, and I'll be hitting up a PNP next week or the week after for whatever goodies I can find there too! I found a PNP 45 minutes away that has 27 blazers, 17 jimmys, and like 25-30 s10/sonomas in current inventory right now!! I think I can find something I want lol!

I am also searching for axles for an SAS and a 5.7 to swap in. These two larger projects will probably happen next winter. I was hoping to do it sooner but I want to have it running to hopefully make a couple wheeling/camping trips this summer.

 

Ill be doing a variation of your posilock setup on my 96

 

See thats the spirit chesty!! I have no complaints about the way mine is setup if you have any questions feel free to ask!

 

hey rex question ur cable is 10 feet long would a 8 foot cable work? also i wanna do the electric fan set up as well when u do it plzzz take detailed photos and how u wired it all up. if u lived in my area id help u with it all and wish u could pick me up something at the scrap yard im looking for zr2 torsion bars

 

Depending on how you route it 8 may work but it would be close I think 9' would be perfect since I cut off almost exactly a foot. I will do a nice write up on my efan install for sure. I've been planning it for a month or so already and fully intend for it to look completely factory when I'm done with it! Yeah your a little far away lol! I would like some zbars myself mine are pretty much worn at this point. I'll add them to my list of things to look for tho not sure what it would cost to ship them to you. I'd also really like to find some flares from a Z the ones I've seen selling around here on CL are asking like $400!!!

 

Hey Rex , where exactly are you located? I'll be in Richmond next week dropping off a bike and would love to get a good look at your build if possible. I can b line up through the mountains if I need to. Real familiar with the Harrisonburg area too..might swing by there and meet up with an old friend

 

I'm in centreville or Springfield just outside DC depending if I'm at work or home. I'd say stop by but I'll be out the entire weekend with my sons lacrosse games and practice. His schedule literally swallows my entire weekend every weekend right now!

 

ok ill keep an eye open for the 9 inch posi lock cable trying to get the small things out of the way but i really wanna do the e fan and take some stress off my engine and gain some hp and tq out of it as well. id love the zr2 flares but rare to find and i know gm quit making the torsion bars and no suspension places sell them either so its got to be from a salvage yard.

 

Well I spent some more time at the PNP yesterday and today and have more new things to add
First and most important is that I finally found the Latch Mounts that I needed for the Blazer to put Bentleys car seat in without using the seat belt. 4 PNP's and probably 10 hours of searching and I finally have them

Then it was all score after that. I picked up a perfect Jimmy hood cause I like the look of them better than the Blazer hood. I will probably paint it black. It also came with a AVS bug shield attached and the vacuum ball since mine has a hole in it from the PO that I have just doctored up to work.

And then the one most will be excited about is this that needs no explanation!!

Yup I have decided to maybe take the plunge lol!
All said and totaled out the door cost..... a mere $15.91!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who hates me know??
And yesterday I picked up a hydroboost out of an astro van for $15 and brought it home and cleaned it up and painted it.
Before

After

I have a lot of work to do on this thing as soon as the wife is finished driving it! At least then with it not being a daily I will have time to do the bigger projects that don't require me to drive it home from work at the end of the day like all others before.
1. New trailer hitch
2. Efan setup
3. Billet grill
4. Rear wheel spacers
5. Body lift
6. New Jimmy hood
7. Hydro boost setup
8. Envoy 3rd brake light
9. Rear mounted tire carrier
10. Half door project
11. Trans flush and filter change with all new shift servos including new Corvette servo
12. Build drawer for rear floor
That's all I can think of right now lol!!

 

Now, all you need to do is install these things man! LOL! pretty soon you will be able to open up a blazer parts warehouse HAHA!
nice finds though.
