Bought this Blazer from a member here. He was just too close to me not to get it. I’ve wanted one for quite some time. 
A buddy of mine kept telling me he thought the drive line angle looked off. he thought it had a hard angle. So after an investigation, I figured out that the cross member had been pushed up hard. 1 3/16 hard. it had been pushed up so hard at some point that it had dented the floor above. These military blazers don’t get treated easy. these things get loaded on trailers with fork lifts. It could have been bent like that, or some serious off reading. I’m going with forklift.
cant find M1009 wheels so I’ve found some rally wheels, I’ve blasted them. I’m in the process of painting them and getting new tires. Current tires are old, tired and dry rotted. 
found some M1009 seats. Didn’t realize till I got them home that it was two passenger sides. I did just swap the seat slides from my current seats .
I did pull the top back, I will have a little rust to deal with, but it’s minimal.
I'm about to change the harmonic balancer as the engine does have 126000 on the odometer. Stay tuned.

Yeah I am glad that M1009 was on the other side of country, or it might be in my drive way. Thanks for sharing 
Looks like a fun project. I vote forklift as well.
Is it completely dry yet? That looks more satin than flat/matte.
What tires are those?
