I drive (beat the hell out of) a 1979 Ford F-150 fullsize pickup. It's
basically stock, except for a 4" suspension lift and 35"x14" Gumbos.
It's got a 351M engine, NP435 tranny, NP205 transfer case, Ford 9"
rear end, and Dana 44 front end. It's not pretty, but it'll go
through some pretty nasty stuff.

big-block! I tried to get one in my 1/2 ton. Bet it will get up and go.

AMC 401, Dual Exhaust, Holley ProJection, Edelbrock performer intake
Smittybuilt Cage, Nerf Bars

healthy dose of primer


I made the bumpers, and welded the seams completely. I have fittings and a guage
attached to let me fill them up with air. If I don't air down too much I can
get 2 tires back up off of one bumper.

I believe you could get the 454 in a 3/4 ton blazer. Not many of those
around, make sure you hang on to it! I don't have my Chilton's with me
today, but if you look in the front you can compare your VIN # to the
chart to see if your engine is the original. It should also tell you what
tranny, whether or not 3/4 ton, etc.

I believe the 3/4 ton Blazers had the K10 desigination instead of K5.

Take a look and see, I imagine you have one of those. (JEALOUS IN NC)

I wonder if you like put some nerf bars on it, and
aired those up, if it would like, make it float or something...

I currently drive a 1986 S-10 Blazer 4X4

5 in. lift (Body and Suspension)
31X12.5x15's on American Rims
Double tube bumpers front and rear

CB, full set of AutoMeter guages and a 500W Kenwood Radio
It has the 2.8 V-6 (for now) with a custom ground cam an an edelbrock intake
manafold. The headers and exhaust system were custom built. For a V-6 it
doesn't run bad but the plans call for a 305/350 swap soon.

I'm looking for other S-10 owners in the North Jersey area to possibly form
an all S-10 club. If your interested feel free to e-mail me at

Sorry, I'm not in your area and am just wanting to
pester you with questions.

I'm looking to buy a used S-15 (I'm a G.M. man)
pickup and modify it for off-road use. It will also be my
daily driver, so I'm not looking to be too radical.
My questions are:

How is your truck off-road?
What kind of lift have you done? How was it done?
I understand suspension lifts are expensive for the IFS.
Are 31's the largest tires it will take?
(I don't think I want bigger anyway)
Did you modify the fenders to take the bigger tires?
Would you intake/exhaust system be legal in California
(which our government is threatening to copy.)

Did you look into fuel injecting yours?
Would buying a fuel injected version of the 2.8 make a difference in
performance?

What (in a nutshell) is involved in the engine swap your
thinking about. Would a 4.3L swap be easier or cheaper.


I know that that is a lot of questions,
but any input/advice would be appreciated.


Finally, I tried to E-mail the above to you, but it gave me some error
message, so I pasted it here. Sorry to wast bandwidth.

BTW, I oen an 1992 S-15 4x4 Jimmy that I don't like taking off-road and a 1983
S-15 2WD pickup that I wish was a 4x4.
