I just read your bio, and unless you have tons of money, let me give you a little advice that I am sure probably everyone on this site would agree with. You said in your bio that you are looking for an 81 to 90 blazer. Thats cool, but if thats what you really want, dont put much more money into your 79 pick up. Just wait till you get the blazer and build it up the right way. If you really want to build up your pick up, then forget about the blazer.The reason I say this becuase This is an extremely addictive and expensive hobby. Dont make your decisions too fast, becuase it is not worth the money. Your bio said that you are running 36 inch tires on 2.73 gears and 10 bolts, thats why you brok it to begin with. If you want to build your truck up right, Get a 14 bolt rear with at least 4.56s and a dana 60 Front, Then when your tranny blows, have a high Performance tranny built fot it, Then look into 1 ton drive shafts and u joints... It is a hobby that is consuming, and if you make a decision to quick, it will result in spending that money twice. Take it from someone who knows. When I frist turned 16, all I wanted was a k5 blazer with a soft top. I know have a k5 blazer with a 4 inch lift, 33s, soon to be 35s, a high performance custom built tranny, I am working on saving the money to have 4.56 gears put in, and i still dont have a soft top. You get sucked in, and before you realize what you are doing, you have spent 10000 dollars on the whole truck, and it still is not nearly as tuff as you would like it. I would love to put a 14 bolt rear and dana 60 front in mine, but I cant afford it, and even if i could i would then have to buy new wheels and tires which I also curently cant afford... Its one thing afetr another. So my advice to you is this. Pick one truck you are going to be happy with for yeras to come. Do your reserch (and there is no better place to reserch than hear) And do it all, right, the first time...
