Struggle is real

[13jraven]

Finding a clean GEN 1 is not proving easy.

I have looked 6 blazers in the last two weeks, 2 just yesterday, and everyone is rough. From yesterday, one had a frame that could double as a pretzel and the other one was carved out of bondo.

I am looking for one missing a motor and tranny and/or axles so I don't molest a nice one. I have missed out on a few nice ones but it would have been shame to dismantle them.

I have a LLY duramax, allison, NP205 with standalone harness and upgraded Dana 60 and 14 bolt for the swap.

Last year I put a built L92/NV4500 in my single cab 85 4 linked k30. A few months ago did a 6.5 w/ HX35/40 in my daily driver M1009.

I had a white 69 blazer I parted with about 10 years ago. If I had known they would become this scarce I would have never parted with it.

Thanks for letting me vent.
