It could be saved - I've seen many in similar/worse condition come back to life.

Thanks for sharing. Was neat to see. He's wrong about a few things such as; “All wheel drive was seen on most…”; and monoleaf was “standard” front spring. Base leaf was two and HD had three.

I am guessing when he says 'all wheel drive' he means 4WD.

Neat video regardless.

Well, the closest thing to all wheel drive in chevy pick ups back then was full time transfer cases on the square body trucks. He's definitely wrong about the mono leaf. Has anyone ever seen one of these with that or even heard of that? Steve is a very knowledgeable guy though. It's definitely not too far gone. It looks nicer than most rotting around here.

I hate it when they compare the Blazer to the Bronco. The Bronco was inferior in so many ways.
Comparing a Bronco to a Suzuki Samurai would be a better comparison.
