Questions about my new blazer

Here's a previous thread about my new blazer. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=193585 I had a 74 K-5 before so I'm stoked about getting one back along with my other 79. Here's what I've found so far.

The wiring to the starter and to the ignition is corroded. Time for new wires for the battery and also the igntion. Easy fix there along with a battery. The flexplate is okay and starter looks new.

I found some ladies unmentionables and some beer bottles (Miller lite). I got most of the sand/dirt vacuumed out with the shop vac. The seats are in good shape with the passenger side the only one that has a good tear in it. The gauges are all there with a aftermarket temperature gauge. There's no carpet just metal other than the headliner (coming out). The seat belts are all there with the console in the middle. I took the other seats out from the back. They're blue bucket seats from a newer style truck (88-94 I think). The top is in really good shape. It needs some bolts to keep it down completely.

Now for some questions for ya'll.

1. I found that it's a NP203 with auto hubs. Isn't this 4x4 full time? Good or bad transfer case? Can it be converted to part time if it's full time?

2. Missing all 4 shocks. Glad I haven't tried to drive it yet. LOL!! But I think it had a lift block kit on it before. How hard it is to install? Just undo the U bolts, jack up then replace with new bolts? How high can you go with out essing up the pinion angle?

3. How can I get the rear window to roll up manually? It's a powered rear window and can't get power to it yet but need to get it rolled up.

4. Definately going to need some parts. I'll have to get a list but already have LMC book ordered to look there as well.
