Why using a carb?

My vote is a shortbed truck. Better wheelbase, and lighter weight.

i have fresh rebuilt 350 with 500 miles, a lunati truck cam,new holley street dominator intake,670 holley truck avenger carb,and built gm hei sitting on the shelf! if a tbi truck was cheap i might think about it but all i need is a frame and body! /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I love the full size Blazer, but I'd also like to have a stepside pick up.

i like both! i guess blazers are easy to find, don't see alot of shortbeds for cheap. whatever it is it's gonna get /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif are there any advantages say for getting a 1973 or 1974 vs say an 1986 as far as body stuff? i know the newer the more complicated the wiring. i have had a few trucks of that era but no blazers. this truck will be an all season one so it has to have a top /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif?? /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif?? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
