Default Latest non-Pontiac beater of the year,

88 V-5 Blazer, Air force surplus, 350 TBI, 700R4, think the gears are 4:10's. it appears to have been explosive proofed as it has 1/2" plate installed on 1/2" spacers above the OE floorpans. This thing runs like a top, has 79k miles, trans was rebuilt about a yr ago, doesn't smoke, trans shifts well. It has typical rust in the 1/4's and needs a tailgate but it was cheap and will haul the kids well during the winter while being pretty efficient. I put a tie rod and bothe drag link ends on it and had it aligned, also did a tune up on it. Has aftermarket A/C,not sure if it'll work as the main wiring to the compressor has been chewed off by a marauding rodent. As with most of these the interior is rough. Will replace the front seats and throw a mat on the floor and a new dashpad in it.

Thought I'd share as these are getting relatively scarce in the rust belt. I'll probably hang 1/4's and a gate on it next summer. going to do a fast jack on it now to quiet the rattles and seal the leaks.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
