Try LMCtruck for diagrams I found them useful when I fixed my truck. If I was home (on iPhone) I'd send you a link to the manual, but I'm sure you can find it on her or the s10 forum.

Update... Found all the parts on ebay.. just waiting for my next pay check... and the blazer has a few items left to repaint...

Help needed....
1. What do you guys recommend personally for undercoating for tow hooks as well as the battery tray?
2. Is posting updates in consecutive posts against the rules like this?
3. Should I get a video of me playing in the snow a bit?
4. Anyone have headlight tabs? like extra ones?

We will see about their fit and their look.

This is making me want to black out all the chrome on my truck. I am thinking of getting the ram air hood, but waiting for the fiancee's father to look at used hoods... (he wants me to save money, although the money I saved on the other parts could be used)

Went to GM dealer.... 1448ish for
Grille
Bumper
All lights
Hood
Valence

Ebay.
Grille 60
All lights 150ish
Bumper 140ish (waiting to win the auction)
Hood 150 stock, 400ish for ram air
Valence (included in bumper)
Save about 600 bucks even with the ram air hood... lol

Looking at body lifts and going to see if fit will go over well getting them.

Also picked up a can of VHT nite shade for my spare tail lights.

Got the older valence put on the new bumper only to find out that the top holes on the bumper were about 1/2 inch to high to mount... everything else lined up nicely...
After putting some elbow grease into it and then buying some lights at autozone... We got back and mounted the lights... still need a few bulbs but for the most part the bumper and lights are mounted... also hit up a local salvage place and shed a few tears....

Just waiting for the other pieces to arrive... and get to wire up the headlights *hehe* to finish off all that can be done right now...
