    Mine had a TBI injected 350 with a 4-speed manual (really a 3 speed with a creeper gear). Got between 12-16mpg with half highway use. Never should have sold it.

      Yeah the 76 Blazer didn't have a full convertible top, the roof from behind the driver passenger seat came off. I don't know what lift is on that truck it looks pretty close to mine but I believe mine was a 4in body lift and 16" rims.

        Wow I like the white painted grill Matt! Everyone that has owned one of these trucks tell me how they should have never sold theirs. Sometimes I look at my truck and I think oh gawd what did I get myself into, but then I hear things like that are very reassuring to me. I know that this truck will serve me well through this winter and many years to come. Plus the K5 was voted one of the top 10 vehicles for the Zombie Halocaust

          We would take my blazer up to our place in Onaway and they would have literally 4ft of snow. She never got stuck. She wouldn't be able to drive forward but she could back up. Which I consider not being stuck. Our cabin is on a bluff like a 37* bluff and we seriously had the blazer on a 40* angle and my mom and me got out and apparently my sister was crying the entire time. We were like 5 and 7. I am the younger one.

                Those were good 4x4 vehicles. Parts are pretty cheap if you got a rusty one. I have a mint dash bezel for one of these trucks with the factory big radio hole (was off a 1990) if you need it.

                        sometime this spring I plan on changing the axles to 3/4 ton and adding a 6 inch lift with duel shocks at all 4 wheels with a nice set of 35s
