As a youngster, I unsuccessfully lobbied my parents to get a Blazer a few times in the 1980s and 1990s. I enjoyed these things after that, and also I enjoy them currently. My pal and gasoline station co-buffoon Brian had a 1978 K5 Blazer that we effectively made run worse than new throughout time. Ahh, secondary school. Anyway, this video functioned as a reminder to me regarding just how much I truly liked these trucks.

I can not say that I am the largest fan of the "four headlight" nose of the 1989-1991 trucks however I can look past that. Proportionally, things do not get much better for a vehicle. It's huge, it is square, its a wonderful short wheelbase, as well as the entire layout is as easy as the day is long. Mechanically, you had a 210hp rated 350 with throttle body shot hooked to a 700R4 automated. As you will certainly see in this video clip, the supply performance of these points was not all that bad, really the numbers type of stunned us.

The deep rally wheels on this vehicle make it for me. I had these wheels on a pickup truck as well as they're about the very best looking GM truck wheel ever. Again, basic, simple, and timeless. It's intriguing that these men reference the rust issues these vehicles had as well as exactly how GM was attempting to repair it by using galvanized steel, or at the very least more of it. Like the 1973-87 pick-ups, Blazers did often tend to evaporate in environments that were not Arizona, Texas, California, or New Mexico. Around the Northeast, there was a period in the very early 2000s where it became a rarity to see among these points that had rocker panels that still existed!

Like all points square body GM truck, values of these gears are skyrocketing. If you got a tidy one a few years ago you made the right action since it's worth means much more now and also will likely not be reversing training course any time soon. Why? Since currently all the men like me that wanted one as a child are hunting them down.

Wonderful vehicles!
