I agree. If I could find a black/grey dash and steering column I’d change it over. I’d love to paint it to match my pickup.

SOrry man, I’m not crazy about flat black. It needs to shine.

What color is this stuff? What year are the door panels from? (mine is the really old school style). I think I am leaning towards a rag-top anyways, so the headliner is not a concern. Let me know color and price (PM if you want) and I’ll think about it.

Also, I don’t have the stuff yet. Guffey (or Guffy? I forget and know he’s particular about spelling) said I can get the parts off his truck once the weather warms up a bit. Plus it doesn’t run yet.

TPI 350/T5 5spd FTW & prolly cheap. They never put the T5 behind the 5.7, but it will work & hold up pretty well for a daily driver. If you start gettin traction, or add more HP, it will be a different story. I ran one behind a 400 sbc in a '78 Grand Prix for many years & never had any problems. It ran high 13s & was driven daily for 6-7 years.

I have access to a T5 from a '84-'84 T/A. It is not the world class trans, but I didn’t run a world class trans behind my 400. It’ll work with pretty much any small block, too.

PM me if interested

Not sure if you know about it, but check out [www.blazinlow.com](http://www.blazinlow.com) . Just what you’ll be looking for, awesome trucks on there. My next purchase is going to be an 86’ S10 Blazer methinks.

I’m ready to go right now!! Unless you still need my coils, which would require a few extra days for me to get it shoved into a garage. Keep me updated.

BUMP.

I’ve been aquiring parts for a V8 swap rather than making it look pretty. I’ll worry about that after it goes fast.

I have Bravada 442’s old V8 in the Blazer already 😉

I got leaf springs, spindles, bolt in notch, posi rear end with 3.73 Richmond gears, and clutch pedal/master cylinder from obi-1s 97 on the way.

Major things on the ‘to get’ list are:  
starter  
radiator  
headers/exhaust  
motor mounts  
carb  
T56 Tranny/crossmember  
all new brake lines  
probably rear disc conversion  
new ball joints and bushings  
door pins  
new tires after I smoke off the junk ones on it

Oh, yeah! That truck rear also has the transverse shock. I’ll try to salvage the brackets for you. Cuts down the wheel hop.

Do you need my leaf springs? It has stock springs with 2 inch drop blocks.
