And yet, he still prefers older chevys :confused: :?:

Lets compare base price, upgrade costs, ease of installation and wrenchning and available parts and time down :whistle:

To continue the saga... Got the truck running in MO in Sept 03, put 3/4 ton axles on it, as well as a set of 38.5 TSL's. After the first winter of wheeling and the addition of lockers, snapped the front axleshafts. From Mar-04 to June '04 it was down while I found, purchased, and re-geared 1 ton axles. At the same time I swapped to crossover steering set up, and went from an auto to manual trans. Wheeled Boulder and attempted Meet-n-greet to only find a cracked frame at the steering box.

So it was down another month while I found a fix for that ill.

Nov and Dec of '04 lead to two different trail fires. The old 1970 engine seals all gave up the ghost after a bout with -40 and I couldn't even hope to contain it! So it sat from Jan - June of '05 while I saved the money to rebuid the engine. Again, I got this done just before meet-n-greet '05.

And to continue my trend of finishing at the last minute before meet-n-greet the Skitzo went to '06!

The Blazer has had a few small issues since, but not down for those extended periods of time.
