a short rant about Previous owners!

Bought a 78 blazer a month ago or so and saw some cobbled stuff on it. A 86 steering column, lots of home style wiring hanging from under the dash, a bunch of other stuff too.

Bought two tilt columns, one had a splined connector going from the column to the rag joint, the other looked great in the pictures but had a piece chipped off the column collar. so..........

Craigs list to the rescue! Ended up buying a complete 79 truck with power everything, woooooooo hooooooooooo.

So I pulled that tilt column, a pain. Then started to fix the under dash wiring. Why would you cut, splice and tear up everything because the ignition switch went bad. It took more parts and time to do the push button under the dash then it would have to just replace the switch. It took me the better part of the day and a parts wiring harness to fix what would have been an easy Fix.


WHY? lol
thanks for reading,

Steve
