well, @ least you know where he was conceived.
wasn't that what you were getting @?
pic's required! 
i've found the secret to getting 20+ mpg!
carry a big-*** BBQ & 10 foot long, 2" x 8" wooden bike rack on the roof of your Blazer! must be the increased aerodynamics of the two items combined!!
seriously, i had to bring home the BBQ & bike rack from up North on Sunday (we sold the trailer), and i still can't believe the truck managed to get 20.25 mpg on that tank of fuel. thats the best it's ever got, even with a P0446 poppin' up.
also found further proof that these Blazer/Jimmy's have even better aerodynamics than we figure. either that, or they just have really good rear bumpers.
found this on the rear bumper when i got home...............
forgot i sat it there on Satuday when i finished doin' the plugs on the Buick.
thank God that never came off while i was moving. don't even wanna think about what whould've happened to the poor sucker who's car it would've hit.
no wonder my numbers didn't come up on Saturday's lotto draw-i was saving my luck for Sunday!

i plan on rotating them so I get the longest life out of all of my tires, so I'm not real worried about it dry rotting

Sweet looking truck - even with the wheel hanging on the back. Now you need some black nerf bars!

"It's ALIVE again"
Finally got the blazer running sweet again, fitted a new (second hand) fuel pump today and now my lil truck doesn't surge and miss when I mash the loud pedal.
Wasn't too bad a job doing it by myself with jack stands out in the sun
Only issue I struck was the metal locking ring off the top of the tank didn't quite fit over the new pump which came out of a 99 blazer so a little mod with the 4" angle grinder and it fits perfect.
And even better now my fuel gauge works.
