Thumbs up New S10 Blazer Owner from California - '89 4.3 4x4

Hey Blazer Forum users, my name is Brad from Southern California and I picked up this beauty a few months back. It needs just a little bit of TLC, but it seems to be mechanically in excellent shape. This is my fifth vehicle, I sold my old 86 suburban 454 about a year ago and I love this little blazer as it feels like someone hit my old suburban with a shrink ray, threw another differential in there and then dropped it back off at my place. Progress will probably appear pretty slow as much of what I'm going to have to do will be cleaning, replacing some broken or crappy interior pieces, and checking over everything mechanically before I start on anything else. Then I want to do a mild lift with new wheels and tires, and paint, possibly going to try my first DIY paint job. I'm thinking I may just respray the top half of the car, and touch up the few areas on the bottom half that need it. Most importantly, I can't wait to take her on adventures.

-Brad

Welcome. That is a nice looking Blazer. You may notice the "shrink ray" more on your fuel bill ! Hopefully !

Thanks! I am so stoked about it.

How are the classified sections in this forum? I can already tell that some parts for this car are not super easily available, but have been able to track down most of what I need so far, and grabbed a few interior pieces at pick a part, but there are a few more things I need to complete the interior.

Classifieds are something I haven't gotten a chance to browse through yet. Have to make some time to check them out!!
