'96 blazer with a whole helluva lot of miles. 237,895 to be exact.
Cons:
Gets worse mileage than my '98 LS1 Camaro.
Oil leak, possibly from the rear main seal.
Personally, I think it sits too low.
Scratched all to hell and dented thanks to Kentucky's large population of retarded Deer.
My Driver's side door has an LS badge on it, while the truck itself is an LT.

Pros:
4x4 works AMAZINGLY well on my truck.
Lots of room compared to my Camaro.
Laughs at snow and mud.
Folding rear-seats.
Rough and reliable.
The 4.3L is a damn good engine.

It may be pretty ugly right now, but it gets the job done. I'll take function over form any day.

Default Seat Back Levers

Hey suemock,

" I just have to figure out how to replace the seat back levers.. any suggestions?"

You can get replacements from Rock Auto for less than $10 for the pair. But maybe don't bother. They'll break again. Those parts and the shafts they fit on = a bad design poorly executed. One option = You can use a vise grip to get the seats where you want 'em, and then just leave 'em there.
