How I spent the winter
Ok. I had my Blazer on the road in late July last year as a work in progress. I finished things as I drove it around. New seat upolstery, carpet, door panels, getting the top retextured and painted etc... Driving my Blazer this year will be alot more funner then last. As I posted the pic of me going through the motor well I also added some new repro side pannels, and built a stereo system in the center console with some 6.5 JL Audio componets in the kick panel and a 8 inch JL subwoofer for that little punch. All I have left is to install the trailer hitch I ordered and my list is completed. I know how everyone likes pic so here are a few.
The fresh motor.  The new side panels  The stereo, amp, and crossovers in the console.  Also the charchol cannister was not hooked up when the previous owner put in the new engine so I took it out and used the bracket to mount the breaker for the amp and also added a radiator overflow bottle so I could stop marking pavement when I parked.  All in all I think I had a productive winter.  I even got around to drywalling my basement as well but working on the Blazer was alot more fun.

I hope it was straightforward for you to order. I think you PM'd me asking for the part number. I didn't have it at the time and I kinda blew you off - sorry.

Re: How I spent the winter
Yea I was able to get the # by the pis in ur post. I even saved the instructions you posted theat had the hitch # on it. Ordering was straight forward so no problem there but I remember the hassle you went through getting yours. Ill start calling after this week. I did get the harness I ordered 3 days later though so at least my order was looked at one time.
