hello everyboady "hello doctor nick"
lol sorry bout the tittle just love the Simpson and i couldn't help my self.
well the name is travis. i just bought my 83 s10 blazer about 2 and a half hours ago and after a half hour drive to get it home i came up with a nice long list of things that need to be looked at and taken car of lol. well like i said its an 83 it is 2door not sure if 4 door was an option for this year, auto 4x4 and its a v6 the catalysis is about 70% percent gone so im not sure what the size of the motor is im not sure bout all the diff options for motors on these years but me thinks its a 2.8L. ive had alot of cars in my short few years but i hope to have this one for a long time. in the last two years i have really taken up fishing and camping at the lake and well a 91 Honda hatch back was not making that easy so the way i seen it a 2door s10 blazer was the only solution to my problems. im looking forward to working on it and sharing the progress with you folks |
Welome to the site.
What kinda plans do you have in store for it? Post a pic or two of it when you get a chance, we love pics. |
well i basically wanna do a restro job on it but give it a little flavor by lowering giving a nice growl and tinting it. other then that just want to make it run really good and lighten it up with some fiberglass to help out with mpg. o and the ugly 20" rims got to go the dude who i bought it off of dint have the original rims anymore i asked :(
her go some pics for yall sorry i dint get any up last night but it was late and i was to tired to take any http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/...8506013742.jpg http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/...8506024191.jpg http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/...8506063194.jpg |
Looks good man.

oh god, dem rims..............

So wait... you are going to lower your 4WD Blazer that will be used for camping and fishing?
Also I believe the engine for the 88 S10s was the 4.3... at least it seems to be the most common |

I'm sure you can sell those rims for a pretty penny and get something useful.
|
driving the truck home 30 miles to get it home with them on and one day to work was enough i traded them straight across for some rims off a 1987 Monte Carlo ss much happier now. you can seem them in my last post
|
How much are the monte rims worth?
