My grandpa gave me his 72!

Hey, new to the forum..my grandpa just gave me his 72 blazer..with only 68k orignal miles. Heres the quick story...He bought it brand new late 71 right when they came out, drove it for about 40k and then put the 350 in his motorhome, put the 292 6cyl in the blazer ( ) SO he gave it to me and I put a 350 back in it. looks and runs great. so, here I am to the forum to get ideas on restoration and ask all of u about a reciever hitch that will work on it, and I dont want a hidden hitch.

Gun control, the theory that 110lb. women have the "right" to fistfight with 210lb. rapists.

The reason animal rights activists are more passionate about fur than leather is because it's safer to harrass rich women than bikers...
