Another VT Blazer

[vtblazer]

Snatched a blazer out of VA and brought it back to VT to live.

Should make a decent platform to build a trail use blazer.

Still working out the exact details but first it needs a good cleaning just to see what's really there.

Motor seems strong but the carb is one hurtin' unit.

More to come as the build continues...

We did some trading.
I brought down the white swb 4x4 and aquired both the blazer and the panel.

Still need to gather up the panel though. Anybody heading north?

Hmmm.... All those pics are 5 years old...

I know, I know...
When I change the batteries in the camera, it zero's out the date, just forgot to reset it again.

I noticed that too, had to do a double take. Sounds like a good deal. Maybe when you come down for the panel, I can get some of the SE VA guys to come up and meet you.

Another VA Trip

Cool idea.
I just e-mailed Mike about making plans for the return trip.
Hopefully he can make the trip this time.

Nice score!!

That panel truck would make an awesome cruiser.

I couldn't help but notice that your K5 is on a trailer being pulled by a Trailblazer. How does that inline 6 pull?

Surprisingly well.
Tires could be better suited for towing. (need a higher ply)
Rear end is a bit soft but with some coil overs, it'd be okay.
It's not a power house but it gets the job done.

The trailer has tandem electric brake as well, if it didn't I wouldn't.
