I got on the Oregon DMV website and found the information on how to submit for a vehicles history. It has been a while since I did it, but if I remember right, I had to show proof that I was the current owner and ask for a sanitized record of the truck. They sent me a package that photocopies of all the title transfers from when it entered the state, which in my Blazers case, was from being new.

I guess since this has been brought back up to the top again, I will fill in a few more details that I have found out about my Blazer. A guy that I know works with one of the other owners of the Blazer. I have not talked to him personally, but my understanding is that it had a 327 in it when he owned it. I hope to contact him some day and get a few more detail. One other side note, the Blazer now is back at the house that I had it at when I owned it. At the first of the year, we bought my parents house, which is where I lived when I had the Blazer the first time.

Man I loved this story the first time but with the move back home just shows you how life has a way of coming full circle.

I guess this is the end of the road on this story. Today I put it on a truck that is shipping it off to Mississippi to its new owner. I have not posted here in quite a while, since I have not worked on the Blazer in what seems like forever. That was the reason I decided to sell it, so that someone with more time, money, and talent could enjoy it. My time on the forum was enjoyable, but I have moved on to different things. So, thanks for the memories everyone.
