Default New guy here, go ahead gimme a wedgie

I'm Mark, live in Portland Oregon area.
Now have a 2000 Blazer 2WD, 4.3, 5 speed, 2 door.
Bought a year ago from original owner with 58,000 miles.

I have and had a few Blazers.
Started in 1977 with a 1972 Jimmy which I converted to 1 ton and BBC.
Later converted to 2WD and Muncie 4sp. Owned it for 30 years but got too rusty.

Next was a new '84 2.8 4X4 (wife's car) she drove 5 years.
Engine blew, gave to son, he swapped body onto a wrecked 1993 w/4.3

Then in 1989 I bought an '86 2.5, 2WD, 5 speed (still have with 105K miles)

1992 bought an '87 4X4 and converted to 2WD using a pickup front frame clip,
350hp 327 V8, Muncie 4 speed (still have).

In 2004 a low mile 1996 2WD, automatic, 4 door, 240K miles tranny started going out.
Last year sold it and bought the 2000 I have now.






1972 Jimmy CST., low mile 1 owner when I got it , 350 engine, 350 trans, 205 transfer case.
Converted to 1 ton and installed a 427 a week after I bought it.



About 1989 converted to 2WD and a Muncie M21.
Still original paint.



My wife's '84 the day my son picked it up.with a dead 2.8



1986, 2WD, 2.5, 5 speed, 4:11. Still have it.
Never mind the red car.




1987 4X4 the day I got it in 1992. Converted to 2WD.



The '87 a few months later. 2WD, 327, Muncie M21 Still have it.



Worn out 1996 the day I sold it.
This was a great car.



My current daily driver. 2WD, 4.3, 5 speed, 3:41 posi
