    1994 Full Size Blazer project

    It’s been a while since I have done anything on this rig. I have decided to keep the IFS and keep this one fairly mild. I found a 6 lug 14 bolt rear axle today for the build. I also have a lead on a spare front differential. The plan is to regear them both and run a rear locker.

    Thank you! I was amazed at its condition as well. The kid I bought it from contacted me not too long ago asking to buy it back. Guess he realized what he had given up. Haha.

    Thanks! I couldn’t get the money out of my pocket fast enough on that winch purchase. Haha. Thank you! I think this one will be sticking around for a while. That’s definitely where I am headed with this project.

    Thank you!! This interior is definitely one of the most comfortable that GM has made. I never envisioned myself in a full size IFS Blazer but man I love this thing!!

    Man I haven’t been on here in a while! No real big progress to report. I’ve been busy/distracted with my other project vehicle (V8 S10 swap). I did manage to finally get my mobile HAM unit installed last weekend. Thanks to the perfectly spaced dash screws and a clever stick-on mic holder, I was...

    Thank you very much. I am slowly getting the build plans ironed out in my head. For now, I am just enjoying it!

    Such a cool build! I am putting together an '87 2wd short bed right now with a small block. Love seeing your pictures and trip reports. Keep up the good work!

    No real upgrades to report yet but I spent all day Friday repairing the A/C on the Blazer. It hasn’t worked since I bought it and was literally the only non-functioning thing on the whole vehicle. After some inspection, I found some nasty sludge in the orifice tube. I ended up replacing the...

    I’ve spotted a few two doors in my area but none this clean. They are going up in value fast!! I think that’s where I’ll be headed with this project. Thanks for the feedback! Thanks again. Your comments are appreciated. I try to keep things simple, clean, and functional.

    Thank you! I knew I had to buy it once I drove it. All of my previous rigs, with the exception of a short lived Bronco II project, have been solid axle. While I love the simplicity and durability, I just don't see myself needing it on this rig. This truck has been so well taken care of...

    Home Depot parking lot spaces? Are they small where youre from?

    I guess the way I look at it is that with the 2-3" kit I am considering, it keeps all of the geometry the same as stock. Again, I don't plan to take this thing on any crazy trails or rock crawling excursions. A 4 link Dana 60 would be awesome but like you said, probably overkill for what I...

    That’s where I am at right now. I drove the Blazer down some forest service roads this week that were heavily wash boarded. I remember driving those roads in my leaf sprung Wagoneer and hating life. Haha. I think a 2-3” lift kit with 33’s and the 6 lug 14 bolt will be perfect.

    The kid that had it for sale didn’t have the best pictures or description in the ad. He was asking more than most people around here are willing to pay so it didn’t sell right away. Once I test drove it, I knew it had potential. Needing a good cleaning but it had really been babied by the...

    You’re the exact kind of guy that I need to chat with. I have this strange paranoia with the IFS that made me hesitant to keep it. The more I think about it, it should hold up just fine to what I want to do. I have no intentions of beating on this rig. Who sells upgraded half shafts?

    Thank you much. That bumper looks great! That’s a really good idea. Thanks for the info.
