where have all the first genners gone?

Mine is all stock, so I just get to wheel it, instead of wrenching on it. I did discover that one of my front hubs is not working though. It still took 2 feet of snow to stop the old girl . Jiiminey Cricket and I were out yesterday for 6 hours total, and I burned less than 11 gallons of fuel. I love that old 250 six cylinder!!!!
 
how many six cylinder blazers still exist?

im interested in possibly putting the l6 250 cu in/ 3 speed column shifter back into my 1970 c5 blazer. what kind of rpms can you get from that motor? how does it pull one of these trucks at highway speed?
 
here you go bro...just got this one for $800 bones, pretty much the outer rockers only with rust, a bit of flloor pan on the drivers so far... but nothing else...at least apparent.

Nice find!!! Got mine mine for 700, and two years later it still is not done. I just got a case of "might as well". Anyway welcome and good luck. Lot's of information here, the skys the limit just depends on how much money you have to spend!!! Later J.

Mine has 3.73 gears with stock size tires. It'll run all day at 65-70 with more pedal left, even at 8000 ft. Gets better mileage than my 3.4 Cherokee, and has a bunch more low end power.
