In '81 I bought a black '71 blazer from a place in L.A. that specialized in used 4X4's and the guy said that it was in a movie called "gringo" or "gringos". I never saw the movie, but the truck was thrashed. Still, I put gas in it and drove out to Utah and lived up at Alta (9,000 ft) where it got buried several times by snowstorms but always started. It was really fun to go to the parking lot late at night after a foot of snow and do four-wheel drifts until the sheriff came. I would drive it down to Snowbird in the evening sometimes to have a "nip" or two, and then end up coming back with 15 people packed in it, even people holding on to the bumpers and skidding back the 3 miles or so to Alta (the roads were snow packed.) I loved that blazer. Has anyone heard of the movie?
