Year as well I think. Didn't they change from drum to disc even on the 2wd later on? Pretty sure the 4x4 has always been disc.

Welcome to the Blazer Forum.

You may want to post the question into the Engine & Transmission section.

Wait... Ontario? That's 4hrs west of me lol... have you tried the kenny you pulls in that area? I think there's a couple that aren't too far from Ottawa. Also option is finding a cheap parts vehicle, take what you need, sell some to make money back, and tow the rest to metal scrap for more money back... did that with a zr2 I needed an engine from, and it paid for itself and I got extra stuff.
