Default Ever had bad spark plugs?

it took me almost two hours to change the plugs on my damn Blazer today. my hands are too big for the stupid design of the dumba$$ chevy engineers. i mean really, why the f**k would you put the steerin stem right in front of the middle plug on the driver side?! but i eventually got it done though. the motor was replaced at 170k miles, and it currently has ~253k miles. i believe these might have been the plugs that were put in with the engine..

sorry for the fuzzy picture. if i pulled my camera back, you wouldnt be able to see the gap of the old one. it actually looks worse than the fuzzy picture shows. before i changed the plugs, it was kinda bein a dog. now its like it came alive again!

now, i just gotta change the Ujoints, rearend oil and gasket, idler arm, and engine oil. ive gone 2100 miles since the last change, and the oil isnt even black yet! you can still see through it! this engine is CLEAN. i love it haha

im not 100% sure if its just loose, or worn. i know my 1986 Dodge D50 had an idler arm bushing that was gone, thats why it made the front end loose. should i just shoot for that before U-joints and other stuff?
