Re: I got one!

So, rough to you is a hole in the 40 year old rubber mat? Man, you've got high standards. That is a very clean looking truck. You can expect things like steering wheel swaps and holes in the rubber flooring after all this time. I'll agree that exhaust isn't right.

Re: I got one!

@botmfedr1:

Too late. I've spent the last week reading through every build thread on this forum. I think I'm in trouble. I had a talk with the wife last night, and I've convinced her to let me have it professionally restored at the end of the summer. Wish I could do it myself but I don't have the skills. I'm going to have to work some extra nights and weekends to pay for it, but I'm getting excited. Just need to figure out if I should keep everything stock, or put in a new engine and switch to an automatic transmission so she can drive it, too. I'm leaning towards keeping it dark blue, adding a roll bar, and going with a new engine and transmission with a column shift automatic.

Now, for my next Blazer...
