Cool stuff here!

You should skip all these steps and just go straight to here, you know that's where this is headed.

You can thank me later for assisting in the final steps. :D

Do you remember how to work on these things? Glad to see you getting back in the Game.

Haha, not that far... but if I did, I would start with a rusty K30, leave the bed in a field somewhere and go wheeling.
 
Just looking for "driver quality" paint with no rust... if it ends up costing more than another Blazer without rust then I might buy another and sell this one.

I usually make good points, I also think that Jack was standing just to left side in this picture. I know he was there, and probably had something to do with the UAV being in that position.
 
So what is the plan?

Mostly stock driver? Part wheeler part DD? One tons? LS motor, 44s?
Overkill dark blue rollcage trazer?
 
I say mild/medium wheeler that is still very road worthy. I say pull motor and give it a refresh (cam and a chip with some fresh heads or just head work). You already have overdrive and IMO a good tcase. Throw some 1 tons under it, 4" lift (can't tell how tall the current lift is on it) and some ~37" tires and call it good. Can still go in the woods and have some fun while running down the road just fine. Oh, and of course your body work/paint you want, and then spend whatever money you have left over for the project on misc stuff like making the interior nice, stuff like that. Would be a bitchin street/mild trail rig that will be dependable to get back and forth from work but turn heads....just my $0.02

Best looking year ever IMO...getting harder and harder to find nowadays in pretty good condition like that...especially in CO

Very close to what I'm thinking! Right now it has 2-1/2" lift (what PO told me) with 33" tires.
 
Well, looks like it has some quality parts in it so far. Just some tweaking is all it looks like. Really good base IMO. :thumb:

Probably wasn't available then... the address on the ORD label is quite old. lol

How are the torsion boxes?

Drivers side is solid, the passenger side has a small rust hole and I can see that the floor support right above it is rusted out.
